Crest considers offering daycare
COLONY Crest school board members and staff are in the fact-finding
preliminaries of investigating the
addition of child care services to
be offered by USD 479, in an effort
to attract and retain teachers and
staff and also fill a need in the community.
Shane Walter gave a report to
Crest board members last week on
the topic which arose as part of the
districts strategic planning process
and initiated by its site council and
school staff. Amid the struggle to
find adequate child care for working families and at the same time to
offer a benefit in whats become the
constant battle to attract and retain
staff, child care arose as an issue
that could benefit both, Walter said.
While the communities that we
serve have a few awesome day care
providers that are currently operating in-home daycares, there are
still more needs, Walter told the
Review. This possibility could proSEE DAYCARE ON PAGE 7
Housing data prompts projects
GARNETT Bolstered by information provided by a local housing
study whose results were reviewed
in April, the countys economic
development director said last week
investors are now pursuing projects
in Garnett to meet whats anticipated to be an increase in local housing
demand.
Anderson County Development
Agency Director Julie Turnipseed
noted the projects on the agenda
for tonights monthly meeting of
ACDA, and told the Review the
results of the study had provided
important data for financing those
projects.
We have some interested investors/developers that are looking
at possibly building some housing
here, Turnipseed said. The housing study has been instrumental
in allowing developers to apply for
grant funds and it also validates the
need for housing here.

USD 288 joins Three Rivers League
RICHMOND Central Heights
Schools will join Crest USD 479 and
other schools in the Three Rivers
League for the 2024-25 school year,
after a decision this week by the
USD 288 School Board.
Central Heights Athletic Director
Doug North told the Review the
board had approved an invitation
from the TRL to join up, with a
plan to divide the 12 existing league
members into a small and large
division.
The league will break into a
big school/small school split (for
the most part) and will offer us
several advantages, North said. He
said the move would leave the high
school league competitors with two
trips of 90+ miles as opposed to the
four now on the schedule for the
Flint Hills League. He said the TRL
also agreed to schedule longer high
school trips on Fridays as opposed
to school nights. He said 288s previous membership in the TRL meant
it had more legacy rivals there and
amounted to a better fit as well.
League memberships define not
just athletic competitions but also

Homeschool students get to participate in public school activities next year
KSHSAA activities now
open to non-public school
kids after new law passed
BY PATRICK RICHARDSON
THE SENTINEL
COFFEYVILLE Noelle Friese is
excited for her children in the homeschool she runs with her husband.
After moving to Kansas a year ago
with her husband Mathew, who is
the pastor of First Southern Baptist
Church, in Coffeyville, the children
will be able to take part in sports and
activities with public school students
thanks to a new law just passed by the
Kansas Legislature. Students in nonpublic schools will have an opportunity to play sports or take part in any
Kansas State High School Activities
Association sanctioned activities,
such as debate or forensics, in the
coming school year if they are residents in the district.
Weve lived in Alaska and
Wisconsin, and any other state that
weve lived in, our kids have been
able to participate in the public school
sports, Friese said. And so we just
thought that was something that happened everywhere.
The Frieses still have three children at home, ages 13, 11 and nine, and
were stunned to find out that simply
wasnt the case.
When we moved down the first
summer we were here, my 13 year old;
our son went to all of the conditioning
for football and was told that he could
play, she said. They knew we homeschooled and when we went to pick up
our uniforms, a different coach said
well, no you cant play.
Friese said she was directed to
KSHSAA and told that was, in fact,
the rule.
That all changes next year. House
Bill 2030, which was folded into
Senate Bill 113, authorizes nonpublic
school students who meet eligibility
requirements to participate in any
KSHSAA-sanctioned events.
The school district board of education may require a nonpublic school
student who participates in an activity to enroll or complete a particular
course as a condition of participation,
if such requirement is imposed upon
all other students who participate in
such activity. Under the bill, KSHSAA
could not prohibit any such student
from participating in any activity

the mail, so it was never
opened.
I think the perpetrator just
found a local address on the
Internet to make it look like
it was a local letter to make it
look legitimate, Gardner said.
He said he received instructions from the KBI how to handle the letter and remanded as
evidence.
We double-bagged it and got
it ready to turn over, Gardner
said Friday.
Using the U.S. Mail to threaten or intimidate victims is a
federal crime punishable by up
to 10 years in prison. The envelope included a Kansas City
postmark, but a lot of regional mail even that coming
from the local area is routed
to Kansas City initially in its
journey and postmarked from
there.
The letter threats follow
what conservative lawmakers
in Kansas hailed as a particularly successful legislative
session, with more than a half
dozen overrides of vetoes from
Democrat Governor Laura
Kelly. Republicans used their
supermajority in the House to
make law that prevents men
from competing in womens
sports in Kansas, to force medical professionals to render
lifesaving aid to babies still
alive after a botched abortion,
increased work requirements
for food stamp recipients and
provided $2 million in direct
support for pregnancy centers
providing alternative counseling to abortion, among others.
KBI officials said Monday
the incident was still under
investigation.

Board of Education of Crest Unified
School District #479 was held at

Walmart to build beef
facility in Olathe
OLATHE Walmart announced
on Tuesday its plans to build
a $257 million case-ready beef
facility in Olathe.
The
corporate
giant
will break ground on the
330,000-square-foot-facility
later this year, with an expected completion of the project in
2025, according to a report from
KSHB. Kansas Gov. Laura
Kelly said the project is expected to create 667 jobs in Olathe.
M c C o w n G o r d o n
Construction, a company based
in Kansas City, Mo., is designing and building the facility.
Were thrilled that Walmart
chose Olathe for its innovative
facility, Olathe Mayor John
Bacon said in a statement.
This huge capital investment
will help create more jobs that
will greatly benefit the City of
Olathe and our entire region.
Case-ready beef comprises
any beef products that are processed and packaged at a facility, then delivered to a store
and placed in a meat case for
individual purchase.
The Olathe facility will
package steaks, roasts and
other Angus beef products
from Sustainable Cuts LLC,
which is based in North Platte,
Nebraska. Those products will
then be distributed to Walmart
locations across the Midwest.
Well continue to work
hand in hand with our suppliers to ensure were delivering high-quality products,
increasing transparency, resiliency and capacity through
the supply process and meeting increased demand for our
customers, Walmart said in a
statement.
Do you have enough courage?
How do you make Jesus
relevant to people living in
a society that works twenty-four, seven to make Jesus
irrelevant? Most of main street
media pushes agenda after
agenda that is counter-cultural
to Christianity. The political
agenda is largely based on beating down Christian practices.
Mega millions of dollars is
spent trying to influence peoples buying habits.
Life is presented as a great
big pie and the object is to carve
yourself the biggest piece.
Maybe it was never stated better than the old saying. Get
all you can, can all you get and
sit on the can. Correct me if
I am wrong I believe we just
removed the Beatitudes from
the book of Matthew with this
philosophy. We also removed
Deuteronomy 5 which contains the Ten Commandments.
I guess we now have a Bible
of suggestions devoid of any
consequences for moral failure
which brings us back to our
fair share of the pie philosophy.
Trouble is there are now no
boundaries, anything goes just
get a bigger piece of the pie for
yourself.
You do realize that the only
thing holding the fabric of our
society together today is what
laws of the land we have, which
are being attacked by demands
to defund law enforcement, and
the Holy Spirit. When God has
seen enough and that dreadful
day of the Lord arrives God
will remove his Holy Spirit and
there will be no restraints on
anything. All seems lost but
there is hope. Do you have
enough courage to come along
side those who are working
against the tide? One wonders
where to begin this battle. The
Apostle Paul encountered a
WEEKLY DEVOTIONAL
BY DAVID BILDERBACK
similar situation when he traveled to Athens. The city was
full of idols and he even found
an idol to AN UNKNOWN GOD.
They had an idol for everything in Athens and it was
this Unknown God that Paul
preached to them. These philosophers obviously felt that if
they had an idol to an unknown
god this would cover anything
they might have missed with
all their other idols.
This is the God we witness
to people about today. Why,
because nothing has changed
the One True God is still in
competition with with all the
idols that permeated Athens.
One asks how do we reach out
to people this way? We do it
by the way we live our life.
Re-enter the Beatitudes and the
commandments. If you have
the courage to live these out
people will notice. No one is
genuinely changed unless their
heart is changed and these are
the people who have the courage required. It may appear
you are not making a difference
using this philosophy but that
is up to God. Robert Frost stated this best in his poem The
Road not Taken.
I Shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood,
and I
I took the one less traveled by
And that has made all the difference.

SMITH
NOVEMBER 23, 1942 – JUNE 7, 2023
Retired attorney and Judge
Edwin R. Smith, 80, passed
away Wednesday, June 7, 2023,
following a lengthy illness. He
had been a
resident of
Brandon, MS,
for the past 15
years.
The
son
of
Rodney
James and
Sara
Jane
Smith
B l a n e y
Smith, he was
born Nov. 23,
1942, in Talladega, AL. He grew
up in Independence, KS, and
graduated from high school in
1960 at the Oklahoma Military
Academy in Claremore. He then
served four years in the United
States Navy before continuing
with college at the University
of Mississippi where he ultimately earned a juris doctorate
degree in 1973.
On July 18, 1987, in Oxford,
MS, Ed was united in marriage to Sharron Foley Boyer,
who survives at the home in
Brandon.
Ed had a distinguished
law career as a tribal attorney for the Mississippi Band
of Choctaw Indians, based in
Philadelphia, MS. His most
prominent success was a
family rights case known as
Mississippi Band of Choctaw
Indians v. Holyfield, which
he successfully presented and
argued before the U.S. Supreme
Court. In 1989 the court held
that the Indian Child Welfare
Act governed adoptions of
Indian children.
In 1993 the Smiths moved to
Osage County in Kansas to be of
assistance and support to Ed's
parents. He was elected Osage
County Attorney, serving for
several years before being
named a district magistrate
judge in Ottawa, KS, serving
the counties of Franklin and
Anderson. Following retirement, in 2008 Ed and Sharron
returned to Mississippi where
Ed remained committed to
assisting the Choctaw tribe
by serving as an associate justice of the Mississippi Band
of Choctaw Indian's Supreme
Court until his retirement in
2021. Ed was preceded in death
by his parents and brother-inlaw, Paul Gordon.
Survivors in addition to
wife Sharron are children
Ramey (Carley) Smith, Oxford,
MS, Victoria (Jeffrey) Rowe,
Memphis, TN, David Boyer,
Granbury, TX, and Daniele
(Michael) Hopper, Brandon,
MS; six grandchildren, and
two sisters, Martha Gordon,
Fort Worth, TX, and Liz
Moore (Douglas Marshall),
Independence, KS.
There will be no formal service; burial will be at Little
Flock Cemetery in Toro, LA.
Memorial gifts in Ed's name
may be sent to the Legacy

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, June 20, 2023
OPINION
Time for a Kansas conservative press club
Theres an unfair disconnect between the
values that have made Kansas a great place to
live and the telling of the story of those values.
A budding organization of rogue Kansas media
plans to change that, and we plan to be just as
aggressive about telling that story as the liberal press in the state has been in ignoring it.
A friend and fellow conservative previously
employed at a major newspaper renown for its
liberal approach termed himself the staff unicorn. That might be an apt moniker for this
gathering thats underway.
In a nutshell, were talking about the values
that determine whether you live in a Red or
Blue state. While the illustration of those
differences has been clear for decades, its
never been more pronounced than today, when
media bias and resulting public distrust of
print and television journalism is at its highest
point perhaps ever.
In Kansas, where the vast rural areas are
definitively conservative and liberals mass
in the university towns and minority strongholds, Leftist-influenced media practitioners
promote liberal causes sometimes out of mere
conditioned reflex. It is ordained from on
high in the high-browed world of Western
Journalism: If its LBGTQ friendly or minority
friendly or gives tax money to the arts or
green energy or to underserved people or
funds more government help or paints JudeoChristian followers in a bad light, its obviously innately virtuous. Why? Because college
professors or RuPaul or Al Gore or Ben Crump
say it is.
Any opposition for any reason from us troglodytic, skinflint, Bible-thumping Republicans
should be aptly presented as such, these
ordained mass messengers confirm. Opposing
abortion, afterall, isnt really trying to save a
life; its forcing a woman to forgo her freedom,
shackled to a pregnancy and the rearing of a
child.
That national journalistic orthodoxy is
fiercely adhered to by myopic writers and
news producers in the Sunflower State, where
nubie reporters and Watergate-spiced journalism degreed liberals in charge at the Kansas
City Star, Wichita Eagle, Topeka Capital
Journal and a handful of metro television stations recite the anti-conservative mantra daily
and accent it more frequently on their websites
and social media updates.
Worse yet, growing chain ownership of
smaller newspapers in Kansas continues to
bleed out their acquisitions with no real regard
REVIEW COMMENTARY
DANE HICKS, Publisher
either way, but debilitating the properties to the
point they will eventually evaporate.
The Left knows the value of seizing and maintaining news sources. When Trump won the
presidency in 2016 and the Left was knocked
on its heels, socialist money bags George Soros
and others funneled money through a string of
non-profits to form States Newsrooms, which
launched left-leaning news websites like the
Kansas Reflector in 26 states aimed at filtering
anti-conservative biased stories into the voting
populace. They even artfully use the offer of free
content to starving Kansas newspapers no longer able to pay their own reporters, in an effort to
spread the Soros gospel and sway the electorate
leftward.
Similar efforts even absorbed the Kansas Press
Association, which a few weeks ago promoted its
new Diversity Coverage award for its member
newspapers of various sizes from tiny community weeklies up to larger dailies. The award
sought to honor writers for their efforts to chronicle the least White, least straight, least Christian
aspects of their communities as if the virtue of
bringing people together during divisive times
can be pursued by focusing on their differences.
An association of conservative media types
and despite the clarion call above there actually
are a few of us in Kansas defines our intention
to level the playing field in political, social and
cultural discourse in the state. The effort will
combine the strengths of seasoned media careers,
longevity in Kansas community journalism, academics, politics and data-based perspectives
and most of all good old-fashioned gumption. This
synergy will create public access to thought and
policy that counters the established orthodoxy
backed by the liberal enclaves of univer

Biden may have had naked transvestites running amok on the White House lawn, but at
least there are no more mean tweets from
Trump. So happy the sober, classy adults are
back in charge.
What a (deleted)show at the White House over
the weekend. Glad to see the USA is keeping it
classy. Democrats 2024 election slogan: Make
pedophilia normal again.
I dont think any flag other than our American
flag should ever be flown from the White
House. So disrespectful to those who laid
down their life for our country and those who
continue to do so today.
That guy at the White House the other day had
xxx
Disgraceful porn at the White House: I fought for this?
Over the weekend, Joe Biden took to the
White House lawn to celebrate Pride Month
ostensibly celebrating sexual minorities like
me, a bisexual.
And how did one of the invitees, trans
activist Rose Montoya, respond?
She promptly removed her top in front of
onlookers, exposing and juggling her fake
breasts alongside other trans activists who
did the same.
It was shocking and disgusting.
But sadly it was not surprising.
Thirty years ago, the argument by folks in
the gay, lesbian, and bisexual community was
that we wanted to be accepted.
That meant things like serving in the military without fear of discharge.
Or to rent a home or have access to health
care without fear of discrimination.
We wanted equality.
In fact, Equality was in the name of the
March on Washington in 1993 for Lesbian,
Gay and Bi Equal Rights.
One of the marchers captured that era well.
We want to be left alone, to just be ourselves.
Were just like everybody else in America.
And that was a powerful argument.
We didnt want special rights. No special
demands. Just basic equality, decency, and
liberty.
It was a cause worth fighting for. But
decades later, tolerance is not enough radicals have insisted on forced promotion.
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
BRYAN DEAN WRIGHT, THE WRIGHT REPORT
We see it in the nations gay activist groups,
like the Human Rights Campaign.
For instance, HRC operates a Corporate
Equality Index that tells businesses how they
must comply with their queer demands to get
a good ranking from the organization.
If not, a business loses equality points
and their reputations.
They even tell businesses what products
they must sell in order to be in their good
graces.
In other words, the goal isnt equality or
decency. Its to steal the liberty and voices of
others if they dont comply. To silence dissent
and debate.
Meanwhile, LGBT radicals like Dylan
Mulvaney claim that if you use the wrong
pronoun with a trans person, that should be
an actual crime.
But perhaps most distressing are the efforts
by radical activists to target the one group of
people that should be off-limits: children.
Theres an activist group called The
Transition Closet operating in some US school
districts where kids who are allegedly curious
about being transgender are told to go into a
closet, disrobe, and change into opposite gender clothes.
Then, at the end of the day, they change
back into their normal clothes their parents
put them in and, critically, teachers are not
allowed to tell the parents about the experiment.
Thats not about equality. Thats just
creepy.
But perhaps most horrifying is the targeting of disabled children.
According to analysis shared by National
Public Radio, people who identify as transgender or non-binary are six times more likely
to have autism.
In fact, two leading trans psychologists
Dr. Diane Ehrensaft and Dan Karasic have
said that autistic kids make up an astonishing percentage of their trans patients.
Indeed, Karasic has said, Anyone who is
doing gender work sees a lot of people with
autism spectrum disorder . . . more than
expected, for reasons we dont know.

We already have a flag that includes everyone
Its June, when one can be forgiven for
thinking we live in the United States of
LGBTQIA2S+.
Old Glory is, at best, supplemented with,
and sometimes supplanted by, the pride flag
in all its varieties.
The flag, which has become more and more
unsightly, is ubiquitous. Its increasingly elaborate jumble of clashing stripes — whether
seen shopping, at a ballgame or on U.S. government buildings — is a reminder to get with
the program, and that the program is always
changing.
Team Biden draped what is known as the
Progress Pride flag, with no fewer than 11 different colors, on the White House in between
two American flags, giving it — no pun intended — pride of place.
Flags arent trifling matters. People rally
to them and live and die for them. The firing
on the flag at Fort Sumter at the outset of the
Civil War, for instance, had a galvanizing
effect on the North. On forts and ships, from
church-spires and flag-staffs, from colleges,
hotels, storefronts and private balconies, from
public edifices, everywhere the old flag was
flung out, historian George Preble writes
in a passage that could almost as accurately
describe the unavoidable June displays of the
pride flag.
Whereas the power of the Star-Spangled
Banner is its extraordinary history, its relatively simple design, its easily understood
symbolism, and its call to unify all Americans
— not to mention the sacrifices made to defend
it — the pride flag is the opposite.
Its always being refashioned (the version
displayed on the White House dates all the
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
RICH LOWRY, King Features Syndicate
way back to 2018), its an aesthetic disaster,
its inscrutable, and its a banner concerned
with the recognition of splinter groups.
If you wanted to create a visual representation of intersectionality, the latest iterations of the flag would be it.
The old, quaint rainbow flag had the virtue
of being simpler than its subsequent renditions and of representing broad categories of
things (life, sunlight, etc.), rather than specific groups of people. The flag started as eight
stripes and got dropped to six for pragmatic
reasons before additional stripes started getting layered in.
As it happens, there are dozens of separate
flags out there for every gender identity and
sexual orientation — pansexual, non-binary,
gender fluid, asexual, you name it. How could
they be left out?
First, the City of Philadelphia added black
and brown stripes to the top of the flag in 2017
to recognize people of color. The next year, a
designer took the black and brown stripes —
along with light blue, pink, and white stripes
incorporated from the transgender flag — and
put them in a horizontal chevron to make the
Progress Pride flag.
Yet another update added a yellow triangle
with a purple circle from the intersex flag.
The resulting banner has all the visual
appeal of a TV test pattern. Its hard to see
any principle by which other groups should
be excluded. By the time its all said and done,
the thing could look like a Sherwin-Williams
fan deck, if it doesnt already.
Like the LBGTQ+ cause generally, the flag
has become increasingly esoteric and obsessed
with identity politics — theres always another letter or another stripe. But what better
representation of a movement that has gone
down the rabbit holes of such bizarre causes
as insisting that males compete in womens
sports and minors get life-altering gender-affirming care that other advanced countries
are turning away from as a terrible mistake?
Yet, it flies everywhere as though it were
a quasi-national flag with universal popular assent. Even U.S. government buildings
here at home and U.S. embassies abroad
are bedecked with the flag. If Republicans
ever get unified control of government, they
should ban this practice. The government
shouldnt be promoting boutique causes, and
we already have a flag that includes everyone, that doesnt require constant ideological
makeover, and that isnt an eyesore.
The Stars and Stripes should be sufficient
for this and every month.
Rich Lowry is editor of the National Review.
the nicest fake boobs Ive ever seen on a guy.
I love to drive by the house at 323 E. 4th Ave.
They have the prettiest flowers in both the front
yards year after year.
Did Biden really say our children are the kite
strings that hold our national ambitions aloft?
This idiot doesnt even know how a kite works.
So the White House now says that the behavior
on the White House lawn the other day was
inappropriate. I guess its still appropriate for
the books in Garnett Library though.
Kudos to the citizens of Garnett. The reason
BAK was such a success, the people who arrived
in our town, so many expressed gratitude for
the effort put out for their beneift. Decorated
bicycles, many places kept open late, activities
for their benefit. They just were delighted. One
even said of all their stops ours was only the second town that did anything for them. We need to
be proud of ourselves that these people came to
visit our very good community. Thank you.
I would like to know what good are nose rings?
All they do is call attention to yourself and
I dont understand what purpose they serve.

Four more finds from previous site 50 years ago….Dairy plant inadvertently pollutes north lake
Im gradually getting caught up
on sharing my photos from my TR
site. Im presently working in an
area where artifacts are rather far
and in between. Now that Im working two sites, I will have photos to
share from both sites. This weeks
photos are still from the TR site.
#1 – How many of you recognize
this old hot water bottle stopper or
plug?
#2 – I bet every farmer knows
exactly what this artifact is. If you
dont know, its a sickle guard. It
came from a mower or binder.
#3 – Before electricity, everyone
used coal oil lamps. This is known
as a burner basket from one of these
lamps. It has a patent date from the
mid 1800s.
#4 – Can anyone share with me
the use of this wrench?

Gerald Ellis apologized to city officials about the molasses which ran into
the north lake after being dumped by
him near the All-Star Dairy plant and
told them to bill him for any damages.
Ellis said that he didnt realize that
the molasses would cause any pollution
problem in the first place and didnt
realize that it would flow into the nearby lake. The molasses scum was discovered on the lake late last Saturday
by City of Garnett Police. Some small
fish were killed by the evolutions. City
Manager Don Stone reported that the
molasses had been pumped out of the
lake so as to eliminate any further pollution. Local Garnett gardeners are on

produce has gone missing from the garden. Charles Kenzie, a kindly, elderly
man had most of the potatoes dug up
out of his garden recently and said that
a neighbor across the street not only
lost potatoes but that someone had also
picked her peas. Admittedly, potatoes
are high at the market currently at
$1.59 per ten poundsbut stealing them
could prove to be more expensive.

The vacancy for the Anderson
County Sheriffs position will be filled
by appointment from a list of nominees selected by the Anderson County
Democratic Central Committee an
assistant to Governor John Carlin. The
governors office recently received an
opinion from the legal branch of the
Department of Administration concerning the procedure to appoint a successor to Sheriff Don Hermreck, who died
June 6. According to the governors
office the procedure for appointments to
the position of sheriff has differed from
the procedure to replace other county
officials. Until July 1, when the law officially changes, sheriffs are succeeded
by appointees who apply directly to the
governors office. The new procedure
will be to have the political party of the
outgoing sheriff nominate successors
to the position, and the governor will
select from that list of nominees. Bob

Workers from the Environmental
Protection Association, of Overland
Park, were on hand to start the removal of Asbestos from the Richart Hotel.
According to City Manager, Rick
Doran, city officials and members of the
EPA met for a project conference and
the work should be starting soon. The
city recently accepted a bid of $18,535
from the asbestos removal company
to take out asbestos found in sections
of the hotels floor, insulation surrounding some of the furnace pipes and
ducts, and in the ceilings of some of the
ground-level offices. Water will be used
to keep the interior of the facility moist
as inhalation of asbestos fibers has been
found to cause cancer. Federal statutes
now require the removal of asbestos
from structures prior to their demolition. The abandoned hotel is owned by
a California man named Dean Dayal.
The upper portion of the hotel hadnt
been used for several years prior to his
purchase of the building. At one time,
the building was home to the office
of Dr. Claib Harris, M.D., apartments,,
a barbershop, candy store, insurance
agency, and a cafe. A Westphalia committee is putting the final touches on
Westphalia Days, set to begin on July
3rd. Activities will begin early that
morning with a high stakes walk, a
trail ride, kids games, bow shooting
contests, and a car show

Garnett City Attorney Terry
Solander shot back at comments made
in a newspaper article earlier this
week by Garnett Church Furnishings
owner, Mike Wedel. Solander said the
comments made the city unjustly
out to be the bad guy in its demand
for delinquent rent. Anderson County
Sheriff Darin Dalton floated questions on Monday about using the
newly constructed Garnett Church
Furnishings building in the Golden
Prairie Industrial Park as the county
jail but didnt get any encouragement
from county commissioners. Dalsing
posed the question during Mondays
commission meeting, saying parts of
the building could be configured to form
the administrative center of a new jail
with modular buildings attached to provide cell space for inmates. Anderson
County Commissioners submitted a
$9,700 claim to the Federal Emergency
Management Agency for costs the county incurred handling fallout from the
May 8 tornado that ripped through
southeast Anderson County. County
costs included expenses for cleanup
activities conducted by the county sheriffs department, solid waste disposal,
and road and bridge department. The
majority of the expenses came from the
road and bridge department, mostly for
labor, ditch clearing work, and cleaning
commodities.

A Garnett man was jailed in Topeka
after leading law enforcement officers
in a three-county chase in a stolen pickup earlier this month. The man was
arrested on suspicion of multiple offenses including felony fleeing and eluding,
theft, possession of stolen property and a
host of other traffic violations. Officials
said a deputy attempted to pull him
over for speeding just south of Topeka.
When the pickup did not pull over the
chase started, consisting of pursuit with
officers exceeding speeds of 70-90 miles
per hour and finally ended when the
pickup ran over spike strips in the road
and was disabled. City commissioners
walked into last weeks meeting ready
to raise the speed limit on Westgate
Road and Seventh Avenue near the city
limits, but that plan changed by the
time they left the topic. After hearing
from residents along the roads, they
decided to leave the speed limits as they
were and find another way to address
concerns about an abrupt transition
in speed from a county road to a city
street. Paul Jones, Jones Tree Work,
was hired to remove a 100-year-old sycamore from the north side of the County
Courthouse lawn. Jones said the center
of the tree was held together by a metal
post that most likely was placed next to
the young tree for support, and the tree
grew around it. The tree was removed
because it had been badly damaged by
drought.

available to such student as
part of the students primary
enrollment and attendance at a
nonpublic school.
KSHSAA will likely be discussing implementation of the
bill later this week.
Opponents of the bill came
out in force, citing largely the
same talking points.
Multiple opponents, including Ann Mah, of the Kansas
State Board of Education,
Larned Superintendent of
Schools Bryce Wachs, Jamie
Finkeldei the associate superintendent of the Catholic
Diocese of Wichita and the president of the Kansas Association
of Independent and Religious
Schools (KAIRS), and state
PTA President Patty Jurich,
came out strongly against the
bill, often using very similar
language.
They all said the bill would
bring unintended potential
for misuse and suggested
parents would game the system
to keep kids who were failing
from being declared ineligible
by pulling them out of school.
Public school students who
have not been allowed to participate in activities because
of failing academic grades will
now be able to simply withdraw from the public school to
attend a nonpublic school
Mah wrote. A sentiment which
was echoed in multiple other
testimonies.
Our schools have a policy that if a student is failing
two or more classes they are
ineligible for a week and then
put on a week-to-week contract,
which allows them to compete
if they keep their grades up,
but ineligible if their grades
slip, Finkeldei wrote. There
is no doubt in my mind that
there are parents who, when
faced with that scenario, will
pull their kids from school to
homeschool them and they
will no longer be failing any
classes.
None of the opponents, however, cited any examples from
the 30 other states which allow
homeschool students to partici-
pate in public school activities.
KSHSAA Executive Director
Bill Faflick testified against
the measure. He cited fairness issues, although KSHSAA
has been inconsistent in its
determination of fairness in
the past. KSHSAA supported a
handicapping system to make
it more difficult for private
schools to win state championships, saying it wasnt fair that
private schools win a disproportionate number of championships. On the other hand,
KSHSAA did not take a position on legislation to level the
playing field for biological girls
who have to compete against
transgender biological boys.
Opponents also pushed
back, pointing out that nonpublic schools, do not need
to be accredited in Kansas
although many private schools
are and many homeschoolers
use curricula that are accredited and claimed this was not
needed as Wachs said non-accredited students have an equal
opportunity to compete on and
form teams, and can become
KSHSAA approved to compete
against KSHSAA schools.
This, however, according to
State Rep. Kristey Williams,
flies in the face of reality.
Williams noted that some
homeschool leagues exist, but
in many rural public school
districts there are simply not
enough students to form such a
league.
Moreover, Williams said
this bill will allow some very
small schools who might not
otherwise be able to compete to
do so.
We have some very small
rural schools that dont have
enough students in their public
school to form a team so they
have associated with homeschool students, only to find out
it will disallow them from
competing in postseason play,
Williams said in a phone interview. Some public schools are
very resistant to this, because
for them, its perhaps the gateway, maybe something that
entices families to choose the
public school. However, I actually think it goes both ways.
I think it makes your school
system stronger by including
others. I think it makes your
community stronger. It creates
connections between all families and all students. So I think
its a win-win for our public
schools, home schools and private schools.
Friese agreed.
We have actually had
administrators from schools
agree, she said. Its a whole
group of kids and families that
the schools are missing out on
when the kids are not allowed
to participate in sports.

And it will do so with a focus on

Because the Kansas values
and ideas that created what
we see around us and which
a good half of us embrace
arent getting the airplay they

provide more opportunities
and connections to our district
for birth-to-four prospective
students. It could also create a smoother transition in
our preschool and kindergarten programs. He said part
of the fact-finding process was
to determine if grant funding
existed to help finance the
offering.
The idea isnt a new one
Winfield is one of several districts in Kansas who started a
similar program in 2021 due to
similar pressures. The shortage of available daycare comes
up frequently in rural community assessments in terms of
improving local hiring numbers, and the issue dovetails
with similar analysis as the
hard-pressed market for labor
in virtually every industry
enters its third year.
There are districts out there
that offer child care, Walter
said. Some have been doing
it for many years. However,
there are variations on how it
is attacked so no true one-sizefits all template. They can be
similar, but the programs are
tailored to fit the specific needs
of the district.
The monthly meeting of
the Princeton Goal Busters
was called to order by Karlie
Stinebaugh on June 12, 2023,
which was held in the Princeton
Community Building.
The meeting started by
saying the flag salute and 4-H
motto. Roll call was answered
by, What is your favorite thing
to do in the summer?
The May minutes were read
and approved. The reports
of officers were read and
approved. The next 4-H council
meeting will be September 25,
2023 at 7:00 P.M at Celebration
Hall.
For community service, club
members helped put out and
pick up flags at the Princeton
and Richmond cemeteries for
Memorial Day. We will be
serving ice cream floats at the
Richmond Fair. A sign up sheet
was passed around to the parents to sign up for supplies.
In the leaders report Cheryl
discussed the Franklin County
Fair kickoff which will be held
July 17 at 6:00 P.M. A food drive
will take place during the fair
and the club with the most
donations will be awarded by
the FR. CO. Extension Office.
Concession Stand sign up and

also discussed.

Lenexa-based

Ventures is pursuing a
Moderate Income Housing
grant application through the
county MIH grants or loans
are awarded to cities or counties with populations fewer
than 60,000 to develop single
or multi-family properties for
homeownership or rentals.
Projects can be for new construction, rehabilitation or
conversion from another use.
The program is targeted at
moderate-income households
that dont usually qualify for
federal housing assistance.
A presentation on the conclusions of the study made to
the public in April revealed a
community with defined housing needs but in short supply
of quality homes as well as
a low average market value
that makes it hard for developers to sell new-built homes
for a price that can cover
their costs of new construction. Available rental properties were also in short supply,
the study revealed. The study
recommended various community actions, including the
formation of a consortium of
lenders and private investors
who could offer gap financing
for private developers, a reduction of zoning and other legal
impediments that raise local
building costs, and annual
demolition programs aimed at
making home lots occupied by
derelict structures available
for new construction.
The study projected an
opportunity for increased
housing demand due to the
announcement of several new

the fact that housing in some
communities nearer those

other competitions in music
art and others.
The Flint Hills League
at this time is comprised
of
Central
Heights,
Allen-Northern Heights,
Cottonwood Falls-Chase
County, Council Grove HS,
Eskridge-Mission Valley
HS, Pomona-West Franklin
HS, and Lyndon HS.
The Three Rivers League
members include Crest USD

Altoona Midway, CherokeeSoutheast,
Chetopa,
Moran- Marmaton Valley,
Mound City-Jayhawk Linn,
Oswego, Pleasanton, St.
Paul, Uniontown and Yates

Population shifts toward
metro and more suburban
areas over the past 20 years
has led Kansas school competition leagues to break
apart and reassemble themselves any number of times,
as certain schools grow
enrollment and often athletic performance levels, while
small schools struggle sometimes to even field teams.
Smaller schools tend to
want to compete with others
of similar enrollment and
avoid having to face off with
the growing juggernauts in
the more urban areas.
It was the winter of
2006 when Central Heights
announced it would break
apart from the Frontier
League and along with
Pleasanton, Osawatomie,
Wellsville and LaCygne
form the Pioneer league.
That group asked USD 365 to
join up in July of 2006, and
Garnett school board members voted 4-3 to do so after
contentious public debate
from both sides on the issue.
Central Heights later left the
PL to join the Flint Hills
League.

Thank you for the abundance of
love and blessings Donnie and I
have received during his illness
and since his passing. I know for
sure that there are some whom
I have failed to thank. Just know
that I was very grateful to all
those who helped us in any way.
So many helped in so many
ways that I couldnt keep track.
Donnie left here knowing how
many wonderful friends would
miss him. He was blessed by
you, and I am too.
Love and thanks to you all.

That should cause a degree
of alarm or pause within both
the medical community and
LGBT world. According to the
CDC, people with autism suffer
from, amongst other ailments,
delayed cognitive and learning
skills. They fixate and obsess.
They can be impulsive.
In other words, autistic kids
who identify as trans may not
be trans at all.
But these trans-affirming
doctors, psychologists, and
their parents are indifferent
to logic and reason. Autistic
children go on puberty blockers, under the knife, and have
life-altering injections of crosssex hormones.
That is horrific. And outrageous. Every sane person
knows that children autistic
or otherwise cannot understand nor consent to this kind
of experimentation. But especially the disabled.
And yet it continues.
Embraced by the modern
queer community.
So thats why, for me, this
moment in American history
is the stuff of nightmares. Its
not what so many of us fought
for 30 years ago. We wanted
equality. Liberty. Decency.
But thats no longer the case.
LGBT activists now embrace
submission.
Censorship.
Prosecution of opponents who
might use the wrong pronoun.
They embrace the experimentation on and mutilation
of children, including disabled
children.
Meanwhile, they disgrace
the White House lawn with
pornography. They arent
helping the movement. They
are shaming it.
Its a revolting and monstrous conclusion to a movement I no longer recognize.
And thats why this Pride
Month offers no pride at all.
Instead, June is a month to
mourn what we have become.
And reject it.
