WALLOPED!
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT No ones quite sure what the
official top wind speeds were in Friday evenings pounding thunderstorm that blasted
through Anderson County, nor the amount
of rainfall the storm dropped in short but
powerful melee, because winds destroyed
the Garnett Municipal Airports weather
collecting instruments.
The wind broke my wind meter and
blew away the top of my rain gauge, said
airport manager Pat Schettler. It quit registering at 1.3 inches.
Rainfall totals as high as four inches
were recorded at residences in Garnett. At
Greeley, one of the hardest hit areas in the
county, wind speeds were estimated as high
as 90 mph. The storm caused rural roads to
flood and numerous crop fields filled with
water so fast they overwhelmed ditches and
drained their soil base out into the roadways. Fast rolling water cut deep gouges
into the sides of hillside roads and swept
gravel into ditches. Trees and tree limbs
were downed throughout the area, breaking
power lines and doing other damage.
The storm put a particular damper on the
local wheat harvest, which was expected to
begin this week in some places. Frontier
District Extension Agent Ryan Schaub said
wheat was the main worry among local
crops that endured the storm.
We were on the brink of starting wheat
harvest, Schaub told the Review Monday.
It will be more challenging to get those
fields harvested now. I was worried about
the wheat anyway due to fungus issues from
the wet weather we experienced in May.
The storm knocked out Evergy power
service to Garnett along with some 60,000
other customers in the Kansas City service
area and sheered off more than 100 service
poles, the company said. Power went out
in Garnett shortly after 5 p.m. Friday and
was restored around 8:30 a.m. Saturday.
Landline telephone service had still not
been restored to some areas of Greeley as of
Monday morning.
The storms began as what the National
Weather Service calls supercells across
Northcentral Kansas around 5pm. These
storms were responsible for producing very
large hail across Washington and Riley
Counties, where baseball to softball size hail
was documented. A hailstone the size of a

Even after 2019 compensation revision,
city says cops still fight staffing issues
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT Even after salary and
benefit raises granted by city commissioners that temporarily filled
vacant posts in the Garnett Police
Department, the local PD is again
facing staffing shortages and grappling with ways to fill those posts.
The issue of police staffing
came up last week during a general city operations status discussion between city commissioners
and outgoing city manager Chris
Weiner. Weiner said a 2019 compensation increase package the
city formulated had worked for
a while to staff vacant positions
there, but staffing issues were
present in the department again.
A month ago for the fist time
weve been fully staffed since Ive
been here, and now were down
three officers again, Weiner said.
There are 90 positions available
in the state right now. Youre
probably going to be able to find a
better position if you want.
Police Chief Kurt King said the
department continued to struggle
not just against stronger compensation offerings at other departments, but also against a general
political climate in the country
that is more threatening to police
officers.
Well its a lot of things to be
honest, King said. We had one
retire. We have lost a couple of
guys in the past year because they
no longer wanted to be In law
enforcement and work nights and
weekends all the time. We have
lost some to other agencies.
Right now trained officers are
leaving the profession because of
the political climate, local and federal, and the talk of losing qualified immunity, he said. Qualified
immunity is the legal standard
which gives police and other
public officials some protection
against civil lawsuits in the conduct of their jobs.
(That) makes the supply low
and demand high. Agencies are
offering higher pay, up to $10,000
sign on bonuses, matching 457b
plans up-to 4%, better health
insurance, night shift and weekend differentials, take home cars
and the list keeps going, he said.
Commissioners approved a
$65,000 annual increase in police
compensation in April 2019 that

Garnett wants to move senior housing expansion project back to the front burner
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT City commissioners
want a meeting with the Garnett
Housing Authority to discuss options
for expanding the citys senior housing offerings, after a discussion last
week that existing cash might soon
be available to serve debt on such a
project.
Mayor Jody Cole brought up the
topic in a rundown of city topics following the recent announcement of
the resignation of city manager Chris
Weiner, who will leave the citys
employ in August.
The idea to expand the citys senior
living offerings the citys housing
authority presently operated two
rent-subsidized apartment buildings
and a private pay apartment facility in
Garnett was broached in 2019 when
it was learned the housing authority
had a solid waiting list for units. A
proposal to examine building more
units got a boost by Weiner, who told
commissioners a project would also
help the general housing market in

cold water on the idea and refused to
pursue a market feasibility study, noting
the debt the organization still carried to
pay off the Park Plaza North facility and
saying the presence of a waiting list didnt
necessarily translate into enough customers-in-waiting to make the project fly.
Weiner told commissioners Tuesday night
the board eventually met with a private
developer who sought Garnett out with a
project idea, but that the debt issue and
lack of a sufficiently attractive pro forma
from the company again failed to entice
the housing authority.
But Weiner told commissioners Tuesday
the city would be able top pay off several of
its existing project debts as early as next
year, which he said would begin to make
cash flow available to engage new bond
financing for a senior housing project if
commissioners opted to go that direction.
Mayor Jody Cole, who brought the issue
up as a recurring topic in January 2020,
said shed like to pursue a meeting between
members of the city commission and the
housing authority prior to Weiners exit so
HA members could be brought up to speed
on the citys debt status and to discuss any
other updates on the proposal.

boosted pay and debuted a more
sought-after insurance plan. The
Anderson County Sheriffs Department
followed suit within a few months to
boost its own officer compensation.
Weiner said the situation with pay
was the same in various city positions
across a number of departments, with
continued problems holding onto some
staff and his desire to work within
the established budget including not
re-hiring some newly vacant posts, so
as not to have to ask for amendments to
the citys budget prior to the next fiscal
year.

There is a saying that,
Time is a fleeting thing.
The older I get the more I
believe this. What does the
Bible have to say about time?
In Revelation 1:3 we read, For
the time is at hand. When
something is at hand it means
it is near. In Revelation 10:3
we read, There should be
time no longer. Time no longer means we will not need
a clock or a calendar because
time as we know it will mean
nothing.
One of the best examples
of a man whose time was at
hand is found in Acts 24. We
read that Paul was speaking
to Governor Felix concerning
righteousness, self control and
the judgment to come. Felix
was afraid and said to Paul,

REMEMBRANCES
WEEKLY DEVOTIONAL
BY DAVID BILDERBACK
Thats enough for now! When
I find it convenient I will send
for you. We never read of
Felix ever coming to follow
Pauls urging. Like so many
people Felix felt the conviction
in his heart, for we read Felix
was afraid but he failed to act
choosing to wait for a more
convenient time.
Ultimately we will run out
of time as we know it. When
we reach eternity we will not
need any clocks or calendars
for we read in Revelation that,
the old order of things has
passed away. So should we
be like Felix and wait for a
more convenient time? In 2nd
Peter, Peter tells us , But do
not forget this one thing, dear
friends: With the Lord a day
is like a thousand years, and a
thousand years are like a day.
Let me ask you this? If you
found out that you had a disease that was terminal, if you
did not get medical treatment,
would you seek that treatment immediately or wait for
a more convenient time? God
says now is the accepted time.
Time is a fleeting thing. We
cant stop it. If you think you
can pull out some old photos
or some clothes you havent
worn for awhile. Felix chose
to wait for a more convenient
time to accept Christ. There is
no record in the Bible he ever
did. He chose instead to put his
confidence in himself which
is why he was afraid. We can
never gain any long lasting
comfort from a decision like
this because our conscience
keeps pricking at us. Dont
be like Felix and ignore Gods
call. For soon the time may be
at hand.
Ministry on the Holiness of God.

OPINION
Vindicating hydroxycholoroquine
Dont expect a mea cupla from Facebook,
Twitter or Youtube for cancelling hydroxychloroquine in the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic, no matter how many people died and no
matter how much research now says the drug
saved lives.
A study released last week on severe Covid
patients by medRxiv showed patients on ventilators had nearly a 300 percent better chance of
surviving the virus when treated with hydroxyl
and zinc than those who skipped the regimin.
The study was conducted by St. Barnabas
Medical Center in New Jersey on 255 Covid
patients.
Its yet another revelation of the wrongness
of Big Tech and corporate media censorship of
whats turned out to be verifiable fact, and the
reticence of those culture swaying oligarchies
to admit when theyre wrong.
In the case of hydroxychloroquine, the
memory of the video posted in July 2020 by a
group known as the Front Line Doctors and
then quickly banned from Big Tech sites and
attacked by other media as conspiracy is still
fresh in the minds of Americans. Real doctors who were treating Covid patients, whom
no one in the Big Tech arena chose to listen
to at the time, had been prescribing Hydroxy
for decades for various conditions and started
using it early to treat Covid patients because of
its symptoms similarities to other conditions.
The press conference by the FLD in front of the
U.S. Supreme Court Building in late July of last
year went viral before Facebook, Youtube and
Twitter fact checked it against information
from government sources including the World
Health Organzation and the National Institutes
of Health.
The lynchpin however in the false debunking
of the drug was, of course, that a video endorsement of it by one of the doctors was re-tweeted
by President Trump. Like so many other assertions from the President later verified, Big Tech
and the powers of the liberal establishment the
Swamp had to immediately discredit it less
they bolster Trumps standing in his re-election
bid.
This was the litmus test for life-saving treatments during a pandemic by the powers-thatbe whether or not Trump or anyone from his
administration endorsed it.
Meanwhile, doctors across the country were
quietly continuing to use hydroxy to treat millions of patients under the radar because of the
effectiveness of those treatments and because
of their desire to avoid having their careers
REVIEW COMMENTARY
DANE HICKS, Publisher
ruined by CNN and Facebook. Even professor
of epidemiology at Yale School of Public Health,
Harvey Risch, penned a mostly ignored column
in Newsweek advocating the widespread use of
hydroxy early in Covid treatments because of
its effectiveness. But the tide was too strong by
CNN and other media hacks against all things
Trump to ever do more than regurgitate incomplete studies that tried to debunk hydroxy in
favor of other far more expensive treatments.
CNN anchors even pronounced hydroxy, which
had been prescribed for 65 years for other ailments, as killing people in their rush to attack
the Presidents endorsement of it.
It all begs the question how many people
died because of reluctance among patients and
doctors to use hydroxy, and how much of the
panic of the pandemic closed schools, business
lockdowns, etc., could have been avoided had
the modern cultural oligarchs provided fair coverage?
The post-game analysis of Covid-19 is only
now beginning, and no doubt more will be
revealed as to the degree to which Big Tech,
corporate media and the government swamp
worked to keep stoking the fears of Americans
headed into the 2020 presidential election
instead of delivering accurate, factual information. It takes time, but the real facts about things
like Russian Collusion, Lafayette Square and
the Wuhan lab eventually bubble to the surface.
Thank God at least some doctors in America
had the courage and tenacity to follow the science on hydroxychloroquine, and save lives in
the process. ###

Kansas schools ignore discrimination issues
School boards across Kansas are gushing
about their devotion to equality and their
determination to stamp out racism, but until
they stop ignoring their own systemic educational discrimination for low-income kids
and students of color, their words are merely
political posturing.
How can Shawnee Mission school board
members say they are maintaining an educational environment thats free of discrimination, knowing that White high school students
are four times as likely to be on track for college and career than Black students in math?
Does the Wichita school board really think
their high school kids are getting equitable
and fair educational opportunities with just
5% of Black students on track for college and
career, compared to 22% for White students?
USD 497 Lawrence is failing miserably in
its major goal to raise the achievement
of all students while closing achievement /
opportunity gaps. White high school students are almost five times more likely to be
on track for college and career in math than
Black students, of whom only 8% are on track.
The school district is shirking its responsibility to get students at least to grade level in
reading and math 61% of black high school
students, 44% of Hispanic students, and 28%
of White students are below grade level in
math. Meanwhile, district administrators are
KANSAS COMMENTARY
DAVID DORSEY, KANSAS POLICY INSTITUTE
bringing in consultants from San Francisco
to host Courageous Conversations about Race
programming seminars.
Where in Kansas are the courageous conversations about redirecting resources to at
least get students to grade level? Funding per
pupil jumped 53% since 2005, districts hired
managers and other non-teaching staff at
more than double the rate of classroom teachers, and they started this year with almost $1
billion in leftover cash reserves. The money is
there, but there is no accountability for using
resources to get students to grade level.
Since the Montoy court ruling in 2005, the
Legislature has provided about $5 billion more
for at-risk students, but a 2019 Legislative
Post Audit found most of the at-risk funding
they reviewed was used for teachers and
programs for all students and did not appear
to specifically address at-risk students as
required by state law. Our2015 study found
similar results.
After a scathing editorial by the Kansas
City Star, State Board of Education President
Kathy Busch wrote a response that basically
said, shut up, go away, we know what were
doing. But student achievement results and
feedback from employers and colleges suggest
otherwise.
Buschs disdain for following the law and
getting students at least to grade level is
shared by local school boards and administrators all across Kansas. Just pay attention to
their actions and how they spend money, not
their public proclamations.
The picture for low-income kids and students of color is much brighter in states that
have taken bold action to eliminate educational discrimination with robust school choice
programs.
While a Wall Street Journal editorial
recently congratulated Indiana for its leadership in establishing one of Americas most
ambitious school voucher programs, we had

The Democrat smear campaign against Joe Manchin
Joe Manchin is being pilloried for the
offense of being consistent on the filibuster.
Back in 2017, when Senate Democrats were
desperate to stop Donald Trumps agenda, 33 of
them, including Manchin, signed a bipartisan
letter backing the filibuster in ringing terms.
We are mindful of the unique role the
Senate plays in the legislative process, they
wrote, and we are steadfastly committed to
ensuring that this great American institution
continues to serve as the worlds greatest
deliberative body.
Well, the commitment of almost all the
Democrats was not quite as steadfast as advertised.
Now that the filibuster is an obstacle to
passing Joe Bidens agenda, the longstanding
Senate procedure has been deemed a threat to
our system of government and to racial justice
that only a naif or cynic can support.
And that means you, Joe Manchin.
The West Virginia senator has been badgered for months by reporters eager to get him
to change his mind on the filibuster, or at least
show some flexibility. Now, the pressure campaign from within his own party has ratcheted
up to include over-the-top insults that have an
air of desperation about them.
After Manchin reiterated his support for
the filibuster and made clear his opposition
to HR1, a sweeping Democratic voting bill,
in an op-ed that weekend, progressive House
Democratic Mondaire Jones from New York
unloaded on Twitter. Per Jones, the headline
of Manchins piece might as well have been,
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
RICH LOWRY, King Features Syndicate
Why Ill vote to preserve Jim Crow.
This is a preposterous smear, and a transparent attempt to bludgeon Manchin into submission by defining his sincere attachment to
Senate tradition and belief in bipartisanship
as tantamount to racism.
Another New York member of the House,
Jamaal Bowman, said on CNN, Joe Manchin
has become the new Mitch McConnell.
The comparison might make sense if
Mitch McConnell had voted with Joe Biden
100% of the time so far, and had supported
the Affordable Care Act and voted twice to
impeach President Donald Trump.
Despite the abuse, Manchin is onto something. The current situation illustrates the
purpose of the filibuster nicely — it is a guardrail keeping a very slender Senate majority
that could easily be wiped out by January 2023
from enacting a far-reaching radical agenda in
a fit of partisan passion.
Democrats arent mad because they know
that support for their agenda will build over
time — they are mad because they know that it
wont, and absent Manchin and other recalcitrant Senate Democrats getting on board right
away, they will miss their tiny window to get
their way through brute legislative force prior
to losing one or both chambers of Congress.
They have convinced themselves that GOP
state legislatures are destroying democracy
with new voting laws rolling back pandemic-driven innovations and tightening up security, a fevered myth that also wont stand the
test of time.
As for HR1, it is a constitutionally dubious
monstrosity that would trample on state voting laws in an enormous step toward the federalization of American elections. Machin was
right to say in his op-ed that it is telling that
not one Republican, whether Susan Collins
or Mitt Romney, is supporting this partisan
power grab.
Manchin isnt always as stalwart in standing up to his own party as he sounds, but hes
been remarkably firm so far. His role as a senatorial brake on Bidens left-wing ambitions
has certainly made him more popular back
home, and the progressive slanders against
him will only boost his political standing. The
left will get nowhere if it tries to primary him
in 2024 (assuming he decides to run again),

were pleased to finally receive disease protection. After a year of trying to avoid covid, by
following the Center for Disease Control contagion guidelines, it was a relief to know that life
could begin to get back to normal.

HISTORY
Anderson Countys first county seat Master Gardener Program
will come as a surprise to most
now taking applications
For this weeks column, I
want to test you on your knowledge of the history of Anderson
County. If I were to ask you, what
town in Anderson County was
the very first county seat, what
would your answer be?
Shannon, Ks., now a ghost
town in Anderson County had
the distinction of being the first
county seat from 1856 until 1859,
when Garnett was named the
official county seat.
Yes, the little town of Shannon
was located one mile south of
Garnett. Dr. Preston Bowen, a
merchant in Garnett, visualized
a city on the open prairie a mile
or two south of Garnett. In 1857
he laid out a townsite and named

it Shannon after the governor
of the Kansas Territory, Wilson
Shannon.
The following summer in 1858
Dr. Bowen received a contract
from the county board of super-
visors to build a jail and a courthouse. The jail was completed by
the fall of 1858 and the courthouse
was started on Dr. Bowens land.
He was erecting these buildings
at his own expense.
Then came the spring of 1859
and a vote was held to see if
Shannon or Garnett would
become the county seat. When
the votes were all counted, guess
who won. GARNETT!
You asked, what happened to
the town of Shannon. It slowly
was abandoned and became the
ghost town it is today.

Colony Christian Church – Inspiring Everlasting Joy
Larry Wittmer gave the
Communion Meditation this
week, asking what is the sum
essence of Christianity. It's
Forgiveness. With forgiveness,
we are set free from sin without debt. This word has the
most meaning, and the most
power. When we pledge our
lives to God, we are guaranteed forgiveness, and with it,
we receive inner joy and peace.
Jesus paid it all on the cross
so we could be offered forgiveness.
Guest speaker, Ben Prasko,
gave the sermon "Inspiring
Everlasting Joy". Generation Z
teens and adults (age 13-23), are
the most depressed, have the
least hope, and report higher
amounts of stress than all generations combined. Depression
and suicide are at all time
highs, and there is a worldwide epidemic of unhappiness.
But happiness is a response to
your circumstances and can be
manipulated. This generation
is seeking "fake highs", seeking
happiness. Trying to fill a void
within themselves. What they
truly need to be seeking is a
Spiritual Joy, a joy that does
not end. We are all broken and
imperfect. But when we repent
and are baptized, we wash away
our old self, our old expectations, and our old habits. We
are made anew! And we receive
the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit
helps us to fight temptation,
conquer depression, motivates
us to change, and most importantly, it inspires Joy. When
we have this joy, we have three
responsibilities: 1. Reach the
world, 2. Share our hope, and
3. Remember our family (blood
and church). If we do this, we
can spread the hope of Jesus to
others, and we can all receive
true joy! (Ref: Acts 2:23; 1 John
1:9; Colossians 2:12; Romans

Creative Kids – Part 5
The Gift
By Maci Keith
6th Grade, St. Rose
Mrs. Rockers
It was Christmas morning
and I woke from the smell of
fresh baked cinnamon rolls. As
I came running down the stairs
my slipper fell off, but I didnt
stop to get it.
When I reached the kitchen
my mom gave me a big hug
and handed me a plate with two
cinnamon rolls on it. I sat down
and grabbed my fork, and three
minutes later Lily and Joey
came running in and started
eating too.
When you are done eating
we can open presents, said
Mom.
Lily said, Okay. And 10
minutes later we were all done
with our breakfast and waiting
in the living room. When mom
and dad came in, dad was carrying Russell, who was eating
crackers.
Dad handed us our presents
and said to open them.
It didnt take long for our
floor to look like a sea of wrapping paper.
When there was not a single
gift under the tree, dad went
outside and when he came back
he had something behind his
back. He walked over to me and
handed me a small gray kitten
with a belly and paws as white
as snow. I looked down and
smiled. I named her mittens. I
could have sworn I saw her eyes
sparkle. From that moment on I
knew she was special.

100 Deadliest Days
begin for nations teens
WICHITA – Nationwide, more
than 7,000 people died in crashes involving teen drivers from
2010 to 2019 during the 100
Deadliest Days, the period
between Memorial Day and
Labor Day. Thats more than
seven people a day each summer, compared to the rest of
the year (six people per day).
The combination of schools
closed for the summer, summer jobs and activities, and
COVID-19 restrictions being
lifted, could prove deadly as
teens take to the road this summer. AAA recommends that
now is a good time for parents to both model safe driving behaviors and help ensure
their teens practice them too.
"There are more daily
deaths in crashes involving
teen drivers during the summer months than the rest of
the year because teens tend to
have more unstructured time
behind the wheel," said Shawn
Steward, AAA Kansas spokesman. "So what can be done? We
can encourage teens to double
down on staying focused when
driving, buckling up for every
ride, and driving within posted
speed limits."
In Kansas
114 people were killed in
crashes involving teen drivers during the 100 Deadliest
Days from 2010 to 2019.
Nearly 100 teen drivers
were involved in a fatal crash
during the 100 Deadliest
Days from 2010 to 2019.
Due to their inexperience,
teen drivers are at a higher
risk of crashes. According
to the AAA Foundation 2019
Traffic Safety Culture Index,
about 72% of teen drivers
aged 16-18 admitted to having
engaged in at least one of the
following risky behaviors in
the past 30 days:
Driving 10 mph over the
speed limit on a residential
street (47%)
Driving 15 mph over the
speed limit on a freeway (40%)
Texting (35%)
Red-light running (32%)
Aggressive driving (31%)
Drowsy driving (25%)
Driving without a seatbelt
(17%)
As teens take to the road
this summer, especially with
pandemic restrictions easing,
AAA recommends that now is
an excellent time to remind
parents to model safe driving
behaviors and help ensure
their teens practice them too.
Parents should also consider
having their teens complete a
comprehensive driver education course to learn the rules
of the road.
Parents remain the best
line of defense to keep everyone safe behind the wheel,
said AAA Kansas Steward.
Its never too soon to educate teens on the dangers of
distracted driving, speeding,
and the impairing effects of
alcohol and marijuana. But we
cant just tell teens about the
dangers. We must also refrain
from engaging in risky driving
behaviors and ensure we are
modeling good behavior.
To keep roads safer this
summer, AAA encourages parents to:
Talk with teens early and
often about abstaining from
dangerous behavior behind
the wheel, such as speeding,
impairment and distracted
driving.
Teach by example, and
minimize risky behavior when
driving.
Establish a parent-teen
driving agreement that sets
family rules for teen drivers.
Conduct at least 50 hours
of supervised practice driving
with their teen.
AAA suggests that summer
is always a good time for adult
drivers to practice safe driving
behaviors with their teens. To
support parents in conducting
practice driving sessions AAA
provides a free four-page guide
to help parents coach their
teens on how to drive safely,
Coaching Your New Driver
An In-Car Guide for Parents.
This guide offers behind-thewheel lesson plans, including
various DOs and DONTs to
make the learning experience
as helpful as possible.
AAA Teen Driver Website
has a variety of tools to help
prepare parents and teens for
the dangerous summer driving season. The online AAA
StartSmart Parent Session
also offers excellent resources
for parents on how to become
effective in-car coaches as well
as advice on how to manage
their teens overall driving
privileges. Teens preparing for
the responsibility of driving
should enroll in a driver education program that teaches how
to avoid driver distraction and
other safety skills.
Children in hot cars deaths
dropped by half last year
As COVID-related restrictions ease across Kansas, AAA
is warning parents and caregivers that some pre-pandemic
behaviors present an increased
risk to children. Specifically,
as temperatures soar, AAA
Kansas notes that half as many
children died in hot cars last
year as compared to the normal years prior.
According to KidsandCars.
org, 25 children nationwide
died in hot cars last year, as
compared to 53 who died in
2019 and a record 54 children
who died in hot cars in 2018.
We know that, historically,
one of the greatest contributing factors to children being
forgotten in cars is a change
in routine. With schools out
for summer, disruptions are
common in work routines and
childcare routines that many
have become accustomed to as
COVID restrictions ease, said
Shawn Steward, AAA Kansas
spokesman. It is critical that
parents and caregivers be
aware of the increased risk.
Heat stroke is the leading
cause of non-crash, vehicle-related deaths for children under
the age of 14, with an average of
38 fatalities per year since 1998.
Tragically, at least two children, a five-month-old girl in
North Carolina and a threeyear-old girl in California,
have died from hyperthermia
this year. Both victims were
left in the car by their mothers.
Even if it is not extremely
hot outside, it can get extreme-
ly hot inside the vehicle and
deadly – in just a matter of minutes, AAA Kansas Steward
added.
Look Before You Lock
AAA has joined with the
National Highway Traffic
Safety
Administration
(NHTSA) to remind parents and caregivers to look
before you lock. The deaths
of children in hot cars is often
because theyve been forgotten.
In the past two decades,
nationwide, 781 children left
in vehicles have died of heatstroke, hyperthermia, or other
complications. In Kansas, 12
children have died in hot cars
from 2000-2020, the most recent
occurring when two Kansas
children died in 2019.
Studies have shown about 51%
of child hot car deaths in vehicles were caused by adults forgetting the children and 29%
of victims were playing in an
unattended vehicle.
AAA Urges Motorists To
ACT:
AAvoid heatstroke by
never leaving a child in the car
alone, not even for a minute.
CCreate
electronic
reminders or put something in
the backseat you need when
exiting the car – for example, a
cell phone, purse, wallet, briefcase or shoes. Always lock
your car and never leave car
keys or car remote where children can get to them.
TTake action and immediately call 9-1-1- if you notice a
child unattended in a car.
You name it,
we print it.

tooth and nail to expand the
school choice program in
Kansas. Attempts to mirror
Indianas education savings
account opportunities for students below grade level died
with a tie vote in the Senate
and never would have been
signed by Governor Kelly.
Following the pioneering
leads of Arizona and Florida,
Indiana legislators are giving
students a fighting chance, and
the results are remarkable.
Between 2011 and 2019 (the
latest data available), Indianas
black students reading proficiency improved by 31% in the
4th grade (from 13% proficient
to 17%), and Hispanic students
improved by 41% (from 17% to
24%). Arizonas black students
improved from 20% proficient
to 21%, and Hispanic students
proficiency jumped from 16%
to 20. Black students in Florida
also had remarkable gains,
going from 17% to 23% proficient, and Hispanic students
improved from 30% to 34.
But proficiency for black
students went backward in
Kansas, declining by 17%, from
18% to just 15%. Hispanic students proficiency improved
slightly, from 19% to 21%, but
the change was much lower
than Arizona, Florida, Indiana,
and the national average.
Proficiency for White students in Kansas, Florida,
and Indiana declined, while
Arizona and the nation showed
improvement.
Low college readiness
levels for minorities
ACT doesnt provide results
by income levels, but the race
breakouts show that low proficiency in the early grades
translates to even worse outcomes in high school.
Only 11% of Hispanic students who took the ACT test in
Kansas last year were considered college-ready in English,
Reading, Math, and Science,
and just 6% of black students,
while 28% of white students
were college-ready.
Black and Hispanic students
and low-income kids are no less
capable of learning than other
students; they just havent had
the same opportunities.
School choice gives kids a
fighting chance
A recent national poll
conducted by Real Clear
Opinion Research on behalf
of the American Federation
of Children found 71% of voters back school choice. An
EdChoice survey in April found
64% of Americans support education savings accounts with
restricted but multiple uses for
educational purposes, including private tuition.
People support school choice
because they know it works for
students. There is no single,
perfect solution to get students
the opportunity they deserve
but choice is a big part of the
all-of-the-above effort, and the
results show that it works.
But the Kansas education
establishment and the teacher unions vehemently oppose
school choice. They all know
that the majority of low-income
kids and students of color in
high school are below grade
level. They know that no more
than 15% of those students are
on track for college and career,
and that white students and
the more affluent are two to
three times more likely to be
on track, while audits show
they arent spending the money
to help at-risk students as
required by law.
That, my friends, is educational discrimination.
Talking about weather
by Jackie Mundt, Pratt County
farmer and rancher
It is a truth universally accepted that a farmer in
want of good conversation
must remark on the weather.
For anyone who is not a fan of
Jane Austen, I should explain
that the previous statement is
a bit of a play on the opening
of her famous novel Pride &
Prejudice.
The statement is true. Good
conversation for farmers must
include remarks about precipitation, heat, wind or the lack
of any of these things. It will
touch on their opinions about
the past, present and future
weather patterns. They are
delighted to talk to someone
from outside the county to fill
their curiosity about weather
in other places. In the case of
severe weather, they have a
deep need to be informed about
the effects of the storm.
Austens opening line, like
my altered version, also had
an air of mockery of others in
society.
It is easy to dismiss a farmers appreciation for weather as

Hodgson 65th Anniversary
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW 6-15-2021 / SUBMITTED
Delton and Janice Hodgson
will be celebrating their 65th
wedding anniversary on June
24th. They were married in the
Garnett First United Methodist
Church on June 24, 1956.
Being lifelong Garnett citizens, they returned to Garnett
after college at Emporia State
University.
Janice went into business
of her own and devoted many
years working for the community on the school board and
as a city commissioner for 12
years, including being the first
female mayor of Garnett for
several terms.

LOWRY…
a necessity for not having anything else to say. I am a little
chagrined to admit that I used
to be a person who thought that
way.
In my early adulthood, at
a time when it is easy to fall
into the trap of thinking youre
superior to older generations,
I held a particular distain for
talking about the weather. I
thought myself so interesting
that I could conduct a conversation without ever having to fall
back on weather as a topic.
Over the last decade, as I
have matured and lived more
of life, I have come to realize
just how important it is to talk
about the weather.
The weather is a universally acceptable topic; a failproof
way to start conversation, fill
a lull or even a way to break
the tension of awkward situations. This universal language is a way to welcome and
extend community to anyone
you cross paths with. There
is little chance of offending,
excluding or burning a bridge
while talking about the weather. Talking about the weather
is a farmers way of extending
a hand of friendship.
Weather conversation is
also entertaining in the same
way as someones fish story.
Youve heard of raining cats
and dog, a bit of a frog strangler
or gulley-washer, egg-frying or
sweltering hot, colder than a
penguins bottom or as dry as a
dust bowl. I am sure you have
had a dozen saying pop into
your head just reading this.
Good weather anecdotes and
the colorful language used to
describe weather can be shared
and retold all the way across
the county, state and country.
Sharing the weather is one way
farmers tell their story.
Most importantly, the weather is a farmers biggest threat.
Farmers have spent generations improving techniques,
tools and inputs to increase
their crop yields. They have
found ways to engineer plants
to grow with less water and
some have irrigation. However,
they are almost all still at the
mercy of weather. The amount
of heat or water brought determines if their crop will grow.
Severe weather events have the
ability to rob them of an entire
years work in a matter of minutes. Farmers talk about the
weather because it is constantly on their mind.
This week as you start to
hear phrases like, Hot enough
for you lately? or It is gonna
be a scorcher. I hope you can
learn the lesson that my young
self was too naive to catch
talking about the weather is so
much more than small talk. It
is a unique, universal language
that has the ability to convey
friendship,
entertainment
and peoples dreams in a brief
exchange.
And that is exactly the kind
of conversation we need more
of in our world.

Surely, the attacks on
