Pool may
open June 15
Repairs made, pool filled,
city just waiting for final
process after repairs
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARENTT The city swimming
pool may be open as early as this
Saturday if everything checks out
after recent repairs to fix problems
that cancelled its usual Memoral Day
weekend roll out.
Garnett City Manager Travis
Wilson said last week all of the
repairs and replumbing had been
completed after a filter malfunction
weeks ago, and staff was in the process of cleaning and refilling the pool
last week.
Once it is full, we will shock it,
get chemicals added, and run the
pool for several days to make sure
everything is operating correctly and
safely, Wilson said. If everything
checks out and is safe for patrons to
use, we will open June 15.
Wilson said city staff was in the
process of filling and shocking the
pool a chemical process to destroy
contaminants when the end of one
of the facilitys sand filters blew out.
When it blew out, the force of the
blowout moved the filter, causing it
to strike and break one of the water
mains in the filter house, Wilson
told the Review.
The status of the aging pool has
been a topic among city leaders and
staff for several years, with discussions last year about the general condition of the 80 year-old facility and
an estimated cost of $2.5-$3.5 million
to replace it. An explosion there in
2015 slightly injured former city recreation director Phil Bures.

Davids votes down bill for
sanctions against ICC if it
prosecutes U.S. Israeli allies
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
WASHINGTON, D.C. Third District
Congresswoman Sharice Davids broke
from most of her state delegation and
45 members of her own party Tuesday
when she voted against a measure
that would initiate sanctions against
members of the International Criminal
Court and associated
individuals if they
take part in an investigation or arrest
of a U.S. ally primarily Israel after
recent assertions by
the United Nationsconnected court.
Davids
The vote was
in response to an
announcement May
20 by the ICCs prosecutor, Karim
Khan, accusing Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu, Yoav Gallant,
and three Hamas terrorist leaders
Yehya Sinwar, Mohammed Deif and
Ismail Haniyeh of war crimes and
crimes against humanity in the ongoing war in Gaza Strip and Israel. The
move brought widespread condemnation by most nations in support of Israel
against the terrorist group, which
murdered some 1,200 Israeli civilians,
women and children, in an October 7,
2023, border attack, then retreated to
Gaza with hostages to start the present
war. Hamas has surrounded its military installations with civilians hoping
to gain public relations value from
their deaths as Israelis moves against

Heavy rains from a Saturday night storm dumped more than three inches on
the local area, flooding low-lying areas and crop fields like this one near the
Pottawatomie bottoms just north of Garnett. The local area has seen more than
18 inches of rain in the last 120 days.
Local rains total over 18 inches in 120 days

GARNETT Kansas State University
weather analysts say the state receives
between 43% and 63% of its moisture
from May 1st to August 31st, and if the
last few weeks is any indicator Kansas
seems to be right on track.
The recent rain pattern continued
in Anderson County over the weekend
with solid rainstorms Friday night
and Saturday night. The Garnett
Industrial Airport reported nearly
an inch Friday night and over three
inches in Saturdays storm as of 8 a.m.
Sunday morning.
As a result, K-State researchers say
drought conditions have improved
or held even in the wetter eastern
areas of the state, but have notably
worsened in the western regions driest parts through the first months
of spring, with just a little relief in
recent weeks storms.
Anderson County and this region
generally get about 40 inches of rain-
fall per year, so in totality the numbers come out about where theyre
supposed to be.
Precipitation totals measured
at K-state for the past 120 days that
dont include Saturday nights storm
showed 14.98 inches recorded so far
in Anderson County, with more than
15.5 inches in Miami County. The
southeast corner of the state has been
the primary rainfall target of 2024,
with Bourbon, Crawford, Neosho, and
LaBette counties massing 15 to nearly
19 inches of rainfall in the last 120
days.
Meanwhile, counties west of
281 Highway generally west of
Hutchinson, have struggled to make
double digit rainfall collections over
that period, with drier conditions the
further west one looks. Kansas counties bordering Colorado had collected
only 5-6 inches of precip in the past 120
days and with central Kansas counties

Showdown set as Kansas law butts heads with Biden Title IX revision
School districts must
let boys into girls locker
rooms, KASB says
BY DAVE TRABERT
THE SENTINEL
TOPEKA The Kansas
Association of School Boards
(KASB) is telling school
districts they must soon
adopt policies contrary to
state law that allow boys
who identify as girls to use
restrooms and locker rooms
of their choice. KASB says
districts must do so to comply
with the Biden administrations new Title IX rules dealing with discrimination.
So far, 26 states are suing
to prevent the implementation of Bidens Title IX law,
saying the new regulations
raise First Amendment concerns and accuse the rule of
violating the Administrative
Procedure Act. Kansas is
one of the states suing and
is joined in the suit by the
Alliance Defending Freedom.
Kansas Attorney General Kris
Kobach tells The Sentinel that
it would be foolish for school
districts to waste money rushing to comply with the Biden
administrations position.
Kris Kobach says Title IX
policy changes would be foolish and a waste of money
The Biden Title IX regulations are unlawful, and I
am confident that they will
be struck down in court. That
is why the state of Kansas
is leading a legal challenge
against them. It would be
foolish and a waste of money
for school districts to spend
money implementing the regulations before any court has
spoken.
In State of Kansas v. U.S.
Department of Education,
ADF attorneys represent
Female Athletes United, an
organization made up of
female athletes devoted to
protecting womens sports,
and Katie Rowland, a 13-yearold student who had to stop
using the restrooms at her
Oklahoma public school
for a time because of males
accessing this private space.
In addition to the states of
Kansas, Alaska, Utah, and
Wyoming and the female
student and female-athlete
organization represented by
Alliance Defending Freedom,
two other groups, Moms for
Liberty and Young Americas
Foundation, also joined the
lawsuit. Together, they
formed a broad coalition to
challenge the administrations attempt to redefine
sex in federal law to include
gender identity, and to protect the privacy, safety, free
speech, and fairness for students and teachers.
Kansas and Oklahoma are
part of the same federal court
district.
The Title IX regulation is
scheduled to go into effect on
August 1, but implementation
could be stayed pending the
outcome of the states lawsuits.
Title IX policy technically violates Womens Bill of
Rights in Kansas.
Last year, the Kansas
Legislature
overrode
Governor Kellys veto of the
Womens Bill of Rights, codifying into state law that an
individuals sex means
an individuals sex at
birth, either male or female.
Districts that act as suggested by KASB would technically be violating the Kansas
Womens Bill of Rights.
In a joint statement, House
Speaker Dan Hawkins,
Speaker Pro Tem Blake
Carpenter, and Majority
Leader Chris Croft hailed the
bills passage:
The right to privacy, safety, and equal opportunity in
a single-sex space is a basic
protection that each female in

Legislature to take 4th shot at
tax relief after 3 Kelly vetoes
BY DANIEL CAUDILL
KANSAS NEWS SERVICE
TOPEKA Kansas lawmakers
return to Topeka on June 18
for a special session on tax cuts
as the state sits with billions of
dollars in the bank.
Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly
is calling the special session
after rejecting three different
bills passed by the Republicanled Legislature that would have
cut state income and property
taxes. Kelly supports cuts but
says she wants lawmakers to
pass a bill thats less costly for
the state.
What exactly is a special session?
The typical Kansas legislative session runs from January
to May. A special session basically means something came up
outside of that timeframe that
the Legislature needs or wants
to address.
Special sessions can be
called by the governor or a twothirds vote of both chambers.
Historically, they have been
called by the governor in every
case but one.
In this case, the governor
called the special session so lawmakers could craft another tax
plan that she finds acceptable.
Why couldnt the governor
and lawmakers reach a deal on
tax cuts during the regular session?
There are two main reasons
Kelly rejected each of the three
plans passed by lawmakers this
year: the total cost of each bill
and proposed changes to state
income taxes.
Republicans originally wanted to combine the states three
income tax brackets into just
one, which is often called a flat
tax.
After Kelly rejected that
plan, they pivoted to a two-tier proposal. Kelly ultimately
rejected both bills with that proposal as well, saying they were

same as 2024.
Vern Valentine, Sheriff, met with
the commission. He inquired about
a detective who lives outside of the

As part of the United
Nations, the ICC action follows
the approval earlier in May of a
resolution among UN members
to allow Palestinian membership to the UN, even considering Palestines connections to
terrorist organizations and its
lack of a government or administrative structure.
The House Bill passed
by a vote of 247-155 with
two Republicans, Massie
of Kentucky and Davidson
of Ohio, voting present,
with 16 Democrats and 11
Republicans not voting
among them 2nd District
Kansas Congressman Jake
LaTurner. Representatives
Ron Estes and Tracey Mann
voted for the measure. All
votes against the measure were
Democrats. LaTurners office
did not return emails seeking
regarding his absence on the
measure.
Davids office refused to
answer directly when questioned on her justification for
denying the measure, effectively siding with the ICC
against Israel, or whether she
believed her vote reflected the
views of her constituents in
the 3rd District. Spokesman
Zac Donley said Davids supports Israels right to defend
itself against Hamas and that
all sides should prioritize the
protection of innocent lives,
release of hostages and delivery of humanitarian aid.
Coined the Illegitimate
Court Counteraction Act, the
bill authorized broad actions
to be taken by the Presidents
administration against anyone
associated with an act which
would attempt to investigate,
insurance utilization numbers for the
county. This will help to budget as well
as knowing what to expect when the
county receives their renewal from
Blue Cross Blue Shield.
Adds A24-138 through A24-139 and

presented.

on tax cuts, or can they pass
other kinds of bills?

only consider tax-cutting bills.
Kansas is different from some
states like Missouri because
legislators can pass any bill
they can pass during the regular session.

later said he wanted to keep the
focus narrow.
This special session is for
taxes. Its absolutely not for all
the wants that everybody has,
Hawkins said in an interview.
Thats what our general session is for. When we come back
in January, they can bring
those back.
Republican Rep. Sean
Tarwater, who sponsored the
plan to attract pro sports teams
to Kansas, says thats the only
bill unrelated to tax cuts that he
could see passing this special
session.
How common are special
sessions?
There have only been 15 special sessions in Kansas since
1930, but they are becoming a
more common occurrence in
recent years.
Of those 15 sessions, five of
them took place in the 2000s,
including two during the
COVID-19 pandemic.
The last was in 2021 and was
the first one in the states history called by the Legislature
rather than the governor. It was
focused on the states response
to certain federal mandates
related to COVID-19.
How much will the special
session cost the state? How long
might it last?
The special session will
cost taxpayers about $84,000
per day. On average, they last
about 10 days, but there are
some that have only lasted one
to three days.
Leaders from both parties
have also indicated that they
would prefer a shorter session.
Kelly reiterated that she
believes the session could end
in a matter of days, depending
on how quickly lawmakers pass
a bill. Hawkins recently shared
a similar sentiment, saying he
hopes lawmakers can pass tax
cuts within just one day.
Every single seat in the
Legislature is up for grabs in
November, so many rank-andfile lawmakers will be eager to
get back on the campaign trail.
Thats especially true because
theyre prohibited from doing
certain campaign activities
while in session.

We read in the book of Luke
that Jesus was asked by the
Pharisees when the kingdom of
God would come. Jesus replied,
The kingdom of God does not
come with your careful observation, nor will people say,
Here it is, or There it is, the
kingdom of God is within you.
(Luke 17:20-21) It could not be
said of a self-righteous, Christ
rejecting Pharisee that the
kingdom of God, as to its spiritual content was within him.
In Matthew 23:13-14, we read,
Woe to you, teachers of the law
and Pharisees, you hypocrites!
You shut the kingdom of God in
mens faces. You yourselves do
not enter, nor will you let those
who are trying to
The Pharisees had rejected Jesus, instead preferring
to put their trust in their own
self-righteousness. Not only
had they rejected Jesus but they
persecuted any Jew who did
not follow the teaching of the
Law and the Prophets. Jesus
angered them by saying there
would be no outward form of
his kingdom. Their entire religious belief was based on outward expression.
So what did Jesus mean
when he said, The kingdom
of God is within you. In John
3:3 Jesus tells Nicodemus, I tell
you the truth, no one can see

the kingdom of God unless he
is born again. What Jesus was
teaching Nicodemus is that the
the kingdom will not come visibly but would be in the hearts
of those who believe. Now the
question is believe what? The
new birth is not a reformation
of the old nature that would
only be temporary at best. It is
faith in Christ crucified. When
you come to the foot of the cross
and realize the ultimate sacrifice that was made there you
become a partaker of the divine
nature, the life of Christ himself. In John 3:16 we read, For
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. The Pharisees believed
in religion, Jesus said you must
believe in him. The Pharisees
had no room for Jesus in their
heart. The question I leave with
you is:
Do you have any room?

OPINION
Take Kelly out of the loop on tax
relief with constitutional amendment
Double-digit increases in assessed valuations
are being used by many local elected officials to
sock taxpayers with unaffordable property tax
hikes, and legislators can do something about it
in the upcoming special session.
The special session on tax relief called by
Governor Laura Kelly for June 18 will play out
like the movie Groundhog Day, starring Bill
Murray. As has happened about a half-dozen
times since Kelly took office, the Legislature will
pass affordable income tax relief, and Kelly will
find an excuse to veto
it.
It doesnt matter to
Governor Kelly that
tax relief is easily
affordable with more
than $4 billion in
reserves. Losing population and adjusted
gross income from
domestic migration
each year as people
flee the 12th-highest tax burden also
doesnt seem to concern her. Kelly sees
your taxes as her
money to spend, and
apparently, a 56%
General Fund spending increase during
her tenure isnt
enough.
The Legislature
should try again in
the Special Session.
Still, there is no practical opportunity to
override her veto, so
we know the scene will end with Kelly seeing
her shadow and causing six more months of no
tax relief.
However, Kelly cannot veto a constitutional
amendment on tax relief; it must be approved by
two-thirds in both chambers and go straight to
the ballot.
Residential assessed valuations by countyGovernor Kellys idea of tax relief last year was
a measly $250 rebate. This year, her plan is only
designed to give the appearance of supporting
tax relief so she can use it in the 2024 elections.

helped stem the property tax increase in some
counties, but dishonesty persists in many places.
A constitutional amendment limiting the

much-needed relief, and Governor Kelly cannot

or the local elected officials who want to keep

The blowback to Kansas City Chiefs kicker
Harrison Butkers commencement speech at
Benedictine College shows how much our culture has changed in the last generation.
Comments that would have been non-controversial just 20 years ago, now have him targeted
for cancellation, and as expected in todays
environment, the official we dont support
his views type of comments from several of
Butkers associated organizations and teammates have ensued.
Rather than just inhaling the reaction to
Butkers comments, I hope everyone went and
listened to this upstanding young mans entire
speech.
As would be appropriate with any commencement speech, Butker discussed the Class of
2024s potential to live a legacy and encouraged them to live out their vocations.
With the discussion of vocation, he then
addressed women specifically. He said he
understood many of the graduates were looking forward to their careers and the associated
advancement opportunities, but he continued,
saying he would venture to guess, that the
majority of you are most excited about your
marriage and about your children that you will
bring into this world.
He then brought it home, talking about his
own wife, and how, if asked, she would say her
life truly started when she began living her
vocation as a wife and as a mother. He said she
leans into her vocation and embraces one of the
most important titles of all homemaker.
The comment received rounding applause.
KANSAS COMMENTARY
DAN THALMANN, THE KANSAS INFORMER
Butker said his wife was the primary educator to their children, keeps him focused on
his responsibility as husband and father, and
through their marriage they will both attain
salvation.
Rather than push the graduates toward the
grind, focused on the stereotypical ladder of
success, he suggested they would experience the
most happiness when they disregard the outside noise and move closer and closer to Gods
will in their life.
The leftist media, who seem to want nothing
more than to cultivate the emasculation of men,
especially Godly men, have pitched headline
after headline of conceived outrage even while
everyone associated with Butker has supported
him as a person of high moral integrity.
What has not been discussed with Butkers
speech, but is possibly one of the most important
elements of it, is the challenge he lays down to
men.
He said it is imperative that this generation
must stop pretending that the things we see
around us are normal.
He said men set the tone of the culture and
they need to be unapologetic in your masculinity, fighting against the cultural emasculation of
men.
Butker has three Super Bowl rings, but didnt
use a sports metaphor when encouraging men to
pick up their traditional mantle. Because men
also have a vocation and using a sports trope
isnt necessary to ask men to be manly.
Do hard things. Never settle for what is
easy.
Men do need to be challenged. Especially
now. Because things have become very strange
with masculinity in our culture.
At what point in history did men quit feeling
responsible to be the breadwinner of the family
unit? When did we decide it was not a failure of
our position as husbands and fathers to share
that title, forcing wives into supporting the
family budget and contracting out child-rearing
responsibilities to daycare providers?
Im hoping there were many young men
who heard the controversy and went and listened to Butkers entire speech, instead of just
conflagrated snippets on TikTok that they saw
while scrolling on their phones, while laying
on a couch, eating chips, searching for ideas for
manly new tattoo designs.

The Little Secretary of Transportation who couldnt
Rarely has a cabinet secretary done so little
with such vast resources.
On the CBS show Face the Nation, Secretary
of Transportation Pete Buttigieg had to defend
the Biden administrations woeful record of
building new electric-vehicle charging stations
that are key to unlocking its hoped-for EV nirvana.
Host Margaret Brennan asked how it could be
that, with $7.5 billion allocated for this purpose
two years ago, the administration has managed
to build eight. Not eight thousand, or even
eighty. Eight.
Buttigieg said that President Joe Biden plans
on building 500,000 chargers by the end of the
decade, and — implying this is some sort of
an accomplishment — the very first handful
of chargers are now already being physically
built.
Its true that eight is better than zero, and
the administration is now only 499,992 chargers
away from its goal rather than 500,000 away.
At this rate, though, the Emperor Hadrian
wouldnt have finished his wall prior to the fall
of the Western Roman Empire, and wed still be
constructing the Hoover Dam to this day.
The administration that made Build Back
Better the catchphrase of its economic agenda
turns out not to be any good at building.
Surely, the pace of the construction of
charging stations will pick up, but the slowness out of the gate is a symptom of the folly of
attempting to force a radical change in vehicular transportation via government fait.
Buttigieg insists that the EV revolution will
happen with or without us, yet its off to a sputtering start. Its less a revolution than a shift in
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
RICH LOWRY, King Features Syndicate
consumer preferences at the margins, especially
at the high end of the market among people who
can afford to make their second or third car an
electric vehicle.
There are signs that the uptake of EVs is
slowing down. The New York Times reported
that Ford and other automakers have tapped the
brakes on EVs, a shift prompted largely by the
companies difficulties in making and selling
enough electric cars and doing so profitably.
Is that all?
Even Tesla has been taking a hit. Part of the
resistance to EVs is so-called range anxiety, the
fear that if you cant charge up in your garage
or if you are on a long trip, you might not find a
charging station. Hence, the imperative to build
a more robust network of charging stations that
has, so far, been going so poorly.
One problem with trying to build back better, or build at all, in the contemporary United
States is that needless complexity and regulatory obstacles make it so difficult. Even when the
future of the planet is supposedly at stake, nothing is simple or easy. According to a Politico
report on the slow rollout of the charging stations, States and the charger industry blame
the delays mostly on the labyrinth of new contracting and performance requirements they
have to navigate to receive federal funds.
The CEO of a charging manufacturer told the
publication that design, engineering, installation and utility upgrades could extend the
wait by years even after the contracts to build
stations are awarded.
On top of this, the existing charging infrastructure is glitchy and prone to failure.
The contrast with gas stations, which are
ubiquitous and highly convenient, couldnt be
starker. The government didnt have to subsidize the oil companies to construct gas stations
at the beginning of the 20th century, or tell them
to offer free maps, branch out into oil changes
and other services, or begin to stay open 24
hours.
There is, no doubt, a niche market for electric cars that will grow over time. Rather than
letting this happen organically and in keeping
with consumer preferences and sensible business choices by car manufacturers, the mandarins of the Biden administration are trying to
force a transformation that drivers arent ready
for and the infrastructure doesnt yet exist to
support.
Secretary Buttigieg so far has had to explain
away failure, and he might have to get used to it.

1984: Hospital buys neighboring land
Sixty years ago, June 1964
A transaction of interest to
the people of Westphalia and
the vicinity was completed
during the past week when the
controlling interest of the State
Bank of Westphalia passed
from the hands of Charles
(Bud) Thompson to Earl J.
Brown. The change of ownership was effective June 2, 1964,
when Mr. Brown took over the
banks affairs at once. Brown,
a Fort Smith, AR native, was
with the First National Bank of
Fort Smith for nearly five years
and has served as an examiner with the United States
Treasury Department since
1954. His latest assignment
was in Oklahoma City, where
he had been positioned for two
years. He and his family will
be making Westphalia their
home. The banks sale included Mr. Thompsons insurance
business and the Thompson
home in Westphalia. Three
local girls attended the Lions
State Band in Liberal last
week. Pam Weatherbie, Anna
Lee Smithers, and Vicki Craig
participated in the camp from
June 4-7. The band, recruited

are crossing our borders under
the guise of escaping political
injustice? Good luck with that.
We need more Harrison
Butker speeches in society
today, but our reaction needs
to be one of contemplation of
our responsibilities, man or
woman, and not of some new
woke ideal for todays culture.###

The Garnett city mailmen will
become motorized this week
after Don Hampton, postmaster, confirmed that three new
Plymouth Dusters had been
leased from an Oklahoma
leasing company to be used as
a way to enable postmen to
take all their mail, plus parcel
post, with them in the morning, negating the need to have
to return to the post office for
additional items. The use of
cars will also be helpful in bad
weather.
Forty years ago, June 1984
The Anderson County
Hospital purchased approximately five acres of land to the
west of the hospital Saturday
morning to use for healthcare-related facilities in the
future. The purchase price
of the land was $18,200 from
hospital funds. The property,
owned by Earl Whitley, was the
subject of a special meeting of
the Hospital Board of Trustees
and County Commissioners.
The land could be used for an
apartment housing complex
with the hospital or as another type of facility. An auction
business selling appliances,
vehicles, and other merchandise will open in June at the
former Pioneer Hardware
location. The company, called
Windsors Auction House, will
be operated by Paul Windsor
and Max Ratliff.
Thirty years ago, June 1994
Recent storms that swept
the area have been a mixed
blessing to local farmers and
their crops. While the storms
brought much-needed rain to
the grounds, they also came
with wind that caused crop
damage and some property
damage. Farmers had been
hoping for rain for the last few
weeks after the dry weather
dried out the top two or three
inches of soil where soybeans
and milo had been planted.
Oliver Percy escaped from a
truck versus a train wreck.
Percys truck was struck by a
Union Pacific train at a crossing about a half mile southwest of Garnett. The vehicle
was struck by the wheels of an
empty coal car on the trail.

A pencil drawing of
American soldiers has earned
a 2004 Anderson County High
School graduate the top prize
in a state Veterans of Foreign
Wars art contest. Cassie Bruce
received a $2,500 prize for her
penciled collage of soldier
images from various history books in the local library.
Anderson County Clerk Phyllis
Gettler said that due to the
recently passed laws regarding
handicapped accessibility in
polling places as many as six
polling locations will need to
be closed for the upcoming elections. The Anderson County
Commission voted Tuesday
to approve the renovation of
the bathrooms at the community building situated on the
Anderson County Fairgrounds.
The action will pay the contracted bids of $68,145.
Ben Rockers honored at Greeley alumni event
The Greeley High School (19141972) Alumni Banquet was held
on May 25, 2024, at St. Johns
Hall in Greeley, Kansas. One
hundred and ten alumni and
friends gathered for a delicious
luncheon catered by Deadra
Jones, a business meeting, and
a raffle featuring prizes donated by Greeley merchants.
Ben Rockers was this years
honored alumnus. Ben, who
attended Greeley High from
1969-1972, is the son of the late
Kenneth and Kathleen Katie
(Moews) Rockers. He and
his wife, Katie (Wiederholt)
Rockers, have lived on the
Rockers family farm west of
Greeley throughout their 42
years of marriage, and have
continued the tradition of running a family farm operation
which includes row crops, hay,
cows/calves, horses and elk.
They raised their four children in the Greeley and Scipio
communities: two daughters,
Kathleen (Andrew Pearce) and
Bobbi Jo (Drake Wenciber);
and two sons, Kelly, and
Patrick (Ryan Maye Handy).
They are proud grandparents
of Kate and Aly Pearce, Bodhi
Rockers, and Freya Rockers.
As Ben spoke to the alumni,
he told humorous and heartfelt
stories of life on the farm with
his parents and brothers, Ed
and Pat, and sister Kathy Poss.
His memories of growing up in
the Greeley community, how
he met his wife, and treasured
times at Greeley High were
enjoyed by all.
Ben established Rockers
Photography, a successful
local business, more than 45
years ago, and was immediately joined in the profession
by his wife Katie. Eventually,
they welcomed their daughter
Kathleen, also a professional
photographer, into the family
business.
Always giving back to his
community, Ben has volunteered for 48 years as a Kansas
Hunter Education instructor
and area coordinator. He has
won several awards including
Kansas Instructor of the Year
for Region 5 in 2003 and 2014,
as well as International Hunter
Instructor of the Year in 2015.
Ben and Katie Rockers
Ben served 21 years of military service (18C4VP) and is a
dedicated volunteer in several
local communities including
the Greeley and Richmond
fire departments. An active
member of St. Boniface parish
in Scipio, Ben has served on
many church committees and
has been a third- and fourth-degree Knight of Columbus for 40
years. Ben was a certified EMT
for 16 years and is still a First
Responder for the Greeley community.
The Greeley High alumni
committee would like to say
a big shout out of thanks to
the Greeley businesses and
individuals who generously
donated items to the Greeley
Raffle event which raised
funds for the alumni organization: The Bank of Greeley,
MFA Oil, Greeley Liquor,
R&R Equipment, Chris Caf,
Beachner Grain, Rockers
Insurance,
Carol
Martz
Nearwood, and Kim McAdam.
The Alumni Banquet is held
each year on the Saturday of
Memorial Day weekend and is
open to all those who attended
Greeley High and their families. Find us on Facebook:

You are not alone
Ashley Beying, Osage County
farmer and rancher
Sometimes, life is heavy. A
couple of months ago, I was in
the throes of motherhood, having a newborn baby as well as
three other little ones. Trying
to balance my career, household duties, being a mother
and a wife and helping on the
farm after my maternity leave
quickly became overwhelming. To put it lightly, I was
exhausted.
There were days where it
felt easier to just stay in bed
and not succumb to the pressures of the outside world. I
am fortunate, in that when the
stress and all the demands of
the world seemed too heavy
for me to carry, I had a team
of family and friends to pick
me up and serve as my anchor.
I knew I had to lighten my
load of responsibilities I was
accountable for and also focus
on the things that matter most
to me.
Working full time during
the day and coming home to
work full time on the farm in
the evening can be all-encompassing, and sometimes selfcare can make ones emotional
and mental health be in a better place. For me, that is making sure I get up and exercise,
and staying connected with my
loved ones. For others, it may
be seeing their therapist, eating healthy or practicing yoga.
Living and working in a
rural area can be so enriching,
but at times it may feel isolating. My husband and I made
the conscious choice to live in a
rural area, and I honestly cannot think of a better place to
raise my children with the supportive community behind us.
Rural life can be full of double
rainbows and magical sunsets,
but also moments where you
feel like you are flying through
endless clouds of turbulence,
going up and down, questioning if it will ever stop.
Between the fluctuating
market prices, weather conditions, fatigue and workload
farmers and ranchers face, the
stress can be daunting and at
times may feel unconquerable.
I know this narration is not
uncommon, as more people
than we truly know struggle
although at times one can feel
entirely and completely alone.
The most poignant epiphany is
knowing just this. We are not
alone.
Farm Bureau has recently
partnered with a service called
Togetherall, which is an anonymous online support group for
those engaged in agriculture.
Because it is anonymous, you
may interact with others in the
agricultural community who
are halfway across the country but are there to provide
encouragement and advice.
Whether it is working through
a farm transition, dealing with
a loss, or just feeling overwhelmed and overworked, this
medium of support can let you
know that you, again, are not
alone.
Coming off the heels of
Mental Health Month, Kansas
Farm Bureau has also made it
clear they are actively working to break the stigma around
mental health.
COLONY Liliana Blaufuss,
a 2024 graduate of Crest High
School, was selected as a recipient of the National Hagan
Scholarship.
Blaufuss
previously
received the Rudd Foundation
Scholarship and will have the
option to study abroad with her
grad school costs covered.
She was one of the 500
students across the US that
received the Hagan scholarship
from among
12,000 applicatns.
The
H a g a n
Scholarship
is a nationwide merit
scholarship,
providing
recipients
Blaufuss
with
the
opportunity
to achieve their goals and graduate college debt-free.
The Rudd Scholarship provides the recipient with a full
ride to any of the following universities: Emporia State, Fort
Hays State, Kansas State, or
Wichita State. Requirements
include having a GPA of 3.0
or above, be a Kansas resident
and qualify for in-state tuition.
Some 96% of recipients secure
full-time positions or pursue an
advanced degree. Lily was one
of 1,300 students who applied
for the scholarship of which 75
applicants were chosen for an
interview, and 40 selected as
awardees.
Her parents are Michael
& Jennifer Blaufuss of
Westphalia.

Christopher
Yates
of
Centerville, Kansas, was
recently initiated into The
Honor Society of Phi Kappa
Phi, the nation's oldest and

the top 10 percent of the number of candidates for graduate
degrees may also qualify, as
do faculty, professional staff
and alumni who have achieved
scholarly distinction.
Phi Kappa Phi was founded

create a different kind of honor

The Ten Pound Fish
Jack Foltz
5th Grade, St. Rose School
Mrs. Rockers
Hi, my name is Jack. I like
hunting, fishing and farming.
My favorite hobby is farming.
My mom and dad are going
to Paola to watch my sister
play softball while I go with my
brother, sister and niece to go
catfishing. We get there at ten
p.m. and cast our nets. Earlier
we went and caught some min-
nows for bait. My sister brings
some friends. One of them got
one but it was not big enough
for us to keep. My brother
and niece stay in the truck and
watch movies on the tablet.
My sister gets a three pounder on land but says she wants a
monster so she lets it back.
I think to myself, this is my
chance to get a big one. So I
put a minnow on my hook and
cast it. I feel a tug and let it sit
for a little longer and I feel a
bigger bit and pull and tug but
the hook comes out. Darn it!,
I yell. So I put another minnow
on and cast it. I wait a few minutes and boom! I pull back and
set the hook. I pull and pull
until he finally quits pulling.
I pull him on land and his is
a monster. We put the scale
in his mouth and he weighs in
at 10.3 pounds. We get home
and clean it and cook it. I put
my fork in it, take a bite and
Yum I yell!
