Hearings proceed in
alleged shooting case
Defense, prosecution will
continue early hearings while
case against Evans proceeds
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT Attorneys debating the case
of a Greeley man who allegedly shot a
female acquaintance in the back during
an LSD-fueled argument over his treatment of a blind dog will conduct a Zoom
hearing August 17, as the case is prepared
for a presumptive preliminary hearing.
Lawyers for the defense and prosecution last discussed the felony charges
of aggravated battery and criminal possession of a weapon against 26 year-old
Joshua Evans before the judge May 25.
Evans was bonded out of jail on three previous felony drug charges from February
of this year when the March 31 incident
allegedly occurred.
The probable cause affidavit compiled
by officers and used to base Evans arrest
laid out a drug-influenced altercation
between Evans and the victim, Megan
Currant, on the evening of March 31 that
ended in Currant being shot in the lower
back by a .22 caliber rifle, and according
to her statement, lying
on the ground for thirty minutes or so until
Evans father arrived
and they took her to
her mothers home in
Ottawa.
Currant told officers
she and Evans were
both high on LSD when
Evans they argued about how
he was treating a blind
dog at his rural Greeley residence. The
argument escalated and she decided to
leave and began walking toward the door
of a garage in which Evans had been living at a home south of Greeley when she
heard the gunshot and fell through the
door, landing outside the building.
Currant told officers Evans spent several minutes moving around both inside

management at Garnett, Iola
Operating two facilities
under one administrator worked
in Missouri, company says
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
IOLA The head of Anderson County
Hospital will be replaced with a joint
manager that will administrate both
the local facility and the Iola hospital
which recently came under Saint Lukes
umbrella.
A press release last week from St.
Lukes Health System announced the
change effective August 1, saying current
Anderson County Hospital Administrator
Rich McKain would be moving to a post
overseeing Saint Lukes radiology and
outpatient imagine services. He joined
ACH in 2016.
Allen County Regional Hospitals
Elmore Patterson, who took the administrator post there in April 2020, will
take over the reins of ACH in that transition. The press release
said the consolidation
of management was
similar to a model
adopted with Saint
Lukes Critical Access
Hospitals in Missouri
at Chillicothe and
Trenton in 2018, in
which a single adminPatterson istrator is in charge of
both neighboring facilities.
Patterson is a 23 year U.S. Army officer veteran who served in the Medical

Kelly says other factors besides free money keeping workers at home
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
TOPEKA Anderson County and area
businesses hoping Governor Kelly
might end a bonus unemployment
check which state business leaders
say is incentivizing workers to stay
home instead of coming back to fill
much-needed job vacancies are probably going to have to wait until the
Covid-19 stimulus program expires in
September.
A coalition of Kansas businesses
organized by the Kansas Chamber
of Commerce and Industry met with
Kelly earlier this month to ask her to
stop the extra $300 weekly Covid-19
unemployment bonus thats paid on
top of Kansas regular unemployment
benefits, which they say is prevent-
ing workers from coming back to the
labor market. Numerous industries
in Kansas and across the nation,
particularly restaurants and other
small businesses, have struggled to
fill vacant positions they say remain
open because workers in those industries are being paid effectively to stay
home.
Missouri, Nebraska and Oklahoma
are among the 24 states planning to
drop the added benefit before its set
to expire in September.
But in a statement released after
the Kansas meeting, Kelly argued
other factors could be responsible for
workers slow progress in rejoining
the workforce, including their dependency on childcare. She also quoted an article from the Wichita Eagle
indicating that labor allocation and
wages, disruption from the pandemic,
friction around types of available jobs,
and the retirement of older workers
are the main causes for ongoing workforce shortages, rather than extended
federal unemployment benefits.
Kelly also said currently, 33,000

Civics test, financial literacy, other issues
divide legislators and state school board
BY DANEDRI HERBERT

last week when they toured Ratliff Jerseys in Garnett as a special field trip for the celebration of
National Dairy Month.
THE SENTINEL
TOPEKA The Kansas State
Board of Education intends to
put lawmakers on notice that its
members wield constitutional
authority. Calling themselves
a fourth branch and equal
partners, board members discussed ways to protect their
authority from legislative fiat
under the Kansas Constitution.
Members stopped short of
threatening the legislature
with a lawsuit. However, members did not rule out going to
court in the future if lawmakers attempt to usurp the boards
authority.
If they cross the line,
the olive branch turns into a
hammer, board member Jim
McNeice, a Wichita Republican,
said.
A handful of laws the legislature proposed this session
threatened the boards autonomy, state board members
said during a June 9 meeting.
Specifically, members cited a
proposal to require a financial
literacy course and the passage
of a civics test in order to graduate from Kansas public high
schools. Lawmakers in both
chambers adopted the legislation, but Gov. Laura Kelly, a
Topeka Democrat, vetoed the
measures.
Legislators also adopted a

budget with provisions directing the Kansas State Board of
Education on how to spend federal COVID relief to schools.
I would hope ongoing in
the future that instead of just
making laws expecting us to do
something that we need to be at
the table as part of the discussion, state board of education
chair Jim Porter said. But we
need to be a partner before the
fact instead of after the fact.
According to board members, some of the legislatures
budget recommendations to
the board run counter to federal guidelines. For instance,

Lavern Charles Scheckel,
age 93, of Garnett, Kansas,
passed away on Friday, June
18, 2021, at
Guest Home
Estates
in
Garnett.
He
was
born
on
December
20, 1927 at
Richmond,
K a n s a s .
Scheckel
Lavern was
the first of
nine children born to William
and Mary (Wolken) Scheckel.
Lavern attended the one room
Star School before going to
high school in Greeley, where
he graduated as Salutatorian
of his class. While still in
school, Lavern and his brothers operated the family farm
after their father was injured
in an accident. Following
high school, Lavern began
working at the Greeley Co-Op
until he was drafted into the
US Army. He was a veteran of
the Korean Conflict, serving
in Japan during the war. After
the service, Lavern returned to
Greeley where he became the
manager of the Co-Op.
On September 6, 1954,
Lavern was united in marriage
to Anna Belle Lickteig at St.
Johns Catholic Church in
Greeley, Kansas. Their union
was blessed with five children. They made their home
in Greeley until 1962 when
Lavern purchased the Western
Auto store in Garnett. Lavern
operated Western Auto until
1977, when he went to work
for BEAM Electric at Greeley.
In 1981, Lavern was proud to
begin working on the construction of the Wolf Creek Nuclear
Power Plant in Burlington.
During this time, Lavern started Scheckel Supply, selling
tires, batteries and guns from
a shop adjacent to their home.
He was widely known amongst
gun enthusiasts throughout
eastern Kansas during this
time. Lavern continued to
operate this business until he
was in his 80s. His small shop
saw visitors from every walk
of life, from rich to poor, and
Lavern famously treated them
all with the same respect. One

ness was his ability to greet
his customers by name when
they walked through the door.
He valued them not just as
customers, but as true friends.
He was proud of his long-term
connections to so many people through all his business
endeavors. Lavern was well
known for his whimsical sense
of humor. Even while he was in
assisted living during his final
months, he loved pranking
any of the new staff. Laverns
Catholic faith was an integral
part of his life and he shared
that with his children, as
they all attended Holy Angels
School and weekly Mass. As
Laverns health failed toward
the end of his life, his will
never wavered. Though he was
known for his practicality and
consistency throughout his
life, it will be his kindness and
generosity that will be most
remembered by the countless
people he helped.
Lavern was preceded in
death by his wife, Anna Belle
Scheckel on June 9, 2018; brothers, Norbert, Gilbert, Charles,
and Ambrose; and one sister,
Berneice Peterson.
He is survived by his five
children, Gene Scheckel (Lela)

Scheckel of Garnett, John
Scheckel (Kathy) of Ottawa
and Mary Lou Scheckel of

WEEKLY DEVOTIONAL
BY DAVID BILDERBACK
God are concerned. The problem with this is if we are not
connected to God we are of little value to the kingdom. And
if we are of little value to the
kingdom we are of little value
to other people who need to
hear the gospel.
If we can go back to the dark
room what happens to the darkness when the light is turned
on. It is overwhelmed by light.
John the apostle tells us in 1st
John 1:5, In him, (Jesus) there
is no darkness at all. If Jesus
were in the room darkness
could not return when we turn
off the light. As it is now if
we turn off the light the room
is instantly dark. Such are
our lives. Darkness invades
all of our lives we cant help
our nature. What Watts experienced was a moment in his
life when the light switch was
turned on so the darkness was
overwhelmed. He used this
opportunity to pen this hymn
so that others could move
out of the dark into the light.
The Light of Jesus Christ.
Darkness will always be with
us that is our human nature
but by virtue of Christs atoning
death for our sins the light we
have through Jesus will triumph over the darkness.
Colony Christian Church Stepping up the Community
Noah Gordon gave the
Communion Meditation this
week. Jesus describes himself as
the bridegroom and the church
as the bride. But why did he
use this analogy? He used it
because the Jews would understand based on their customs at
the time. The proposal: Christ
invites us into the relationship
that he has freely given. And
he gives us every opportunity
to choose. The betrothal period:
The groom goes away to provide
a home for his new bride, while
the bride learns all that shell
need to know to become a good
wife. The betrothal gift: Christ
gives us the Holy Spirit to fill
us until his return. The consumation: The groom returns
for his bride and the community celebrates. So, we must ask
ourselves, have we been faithful
to Christ this week (every day)?
Or have we committed spiritual
adultery and need to confess?
Pastor Chase Riebel gave
the sermon Steppng up the
Community, covering Acts
13:13-43. During Pauls missionary trip into Gentile territory,
he was invited to speak at the
synagogue. There are three
things we can learn from this:
1. We must be ready to accept
the opportunity, 2. Share the
Good News, 3. Follow up with
those you have shared with.
Sometimes its difficult when
people ask us about our faith,
but we must always be ready to
explain. We need to live wisely
around non-believers and gear
our words so theyll reflect love
and compassion like Jesus. And
Jesus will be back again for
you and me, so when we tell
others about him, we need to
tell it like its exciting, to make
them want to know more. And
then when they have accepted
him, follow up with them to
see how they are doing. There
are so many false prophets in
the world, and it can be so easy
for those not grounded in the
truth to fall away. So encourage them thru every difficulty. Salvation is by grace alone,
thru faith alone, in Christ
alone. (Ref: Acts 13:13-43; Peter
3:15; Colossians 4:5; Romans
2:28-29, 6:4 & 8:31; Philippians

One of my daily devotions
in prayer is to ask the Lord to
open my eyes, ears and mind
for opportunities to glorify
him. There are times when
God will fulfill this request
and will put something on my
mind which ultimately will be
the topic for an article. Such
is the case with the hymn At
the Cross. The song writer
Issac Watts says in one of the
verses.
At the cross, at the cross
when I first saw the light
and the burden of my heart
rolled away . It was there
by faith I received my sight,
and now I am happy all the day.
What was the light Watts
saw? Jesus tells us he is the
Light of the World in John
8:12. Certainly until we see
Jesus for who he really is, the
light we have is at best the
light of a believer. The problem with this is we are told in
scripture, (John 2:19) even the
demons believe and shudder
at the name of Jesus. We must
move beyond belief to faith.
The song writer says It was
there by faith I received my
sight.
The sight Watts is referring
to here is he understood for
the first time who Jesus was
and what he had done. When
this occurs there is a change
of heart. It is very similar
to when we walk into a dark
room and fumble for the light
switch. When the light comes
on the darkness is removed,
overwhelmed by light. We are
able to see the entire room.
Until this happens in our life
we walk around in relative
darkness as far as the things of

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, June 22, 2021
OPINION
Dem voting bill a stalkers dream
Why arent Republicans screaming from the
rooftops about the Democrats plans to change
voting rules to give themselves an advantage?
Their sleazy election bills, HR 1, the For
the People Act, and HR 4, the John Lewis
Voting Rights Advancement Act, are intended to help Democrats win majorities in both
houses of Congress, at which point they will
ignore Republicans entirely, end the filibuster,
and pass everything in AOCs Dream Journal
amnesty, gun control, a wealth tax, and a
rainbows and unicorns energy bill.
So its kind of important for Republicans to
kill these bills in the crib. It shouldnt be hard.
All they have to do is tell people whats in them.
Are Republicans counting on Sen. Joe
Manchin, D-W.Va., to save them? The GOP
defeated Hillary Care in the 1990s far more decisively then it came roaring back a few years
later as Obamacare.
Currently, Manchin opposes the For the
People bill, but supports the even more execrable John Lewis bill. Both will completely
rewrite state election laws to favor Democrats,
but at least For the People will be done by
Congress. The John Lewis bill will give unelected bureaucrats at the Justice Department vast
power to impose voting rules on the states.
Based on previous such exercises of unaccountable power, 10-year-olds will soon have the right
to vote. (See Title IX.)
Unless Republicans agree to ludicrous voting
rules that give Democrats a partisan advantage, theyre racist. Thats the full argument.
Republicans are trying to suppress the vote of
black and brown people! John Lewis risked his
life for the right to vote!
If thats why Republicans dont want to talk
about these bills, they better get used to it.
Theyre going to be called racist a lot more if
thats all it takes to stifle the opposition.
Of course, Democrats own voters respond to
John Lewis touching story by saying, Good for
him, but when is the election again? Tuesday?
Yeah, thats not going to be convenient for me.
And thats the nub of the problem. The
Democrats have a lot of what we call unmotivated voters. Risk their lives to vote? They
wont risk missing a couple hours of TV.
These are people who dont pay attention to
the news (thats why theyre Democrats); dont
speak English (thats why theyre Democrats);
or dont have a fully developed pre-frontal cortex because theyre under the age of 26 (thats
why theyre Democrats). And so on.
Consequently, Democrats have to mobilize
armies of volunteers to carry their voters on
gurneys to the polls on Election Day.
GUEST EDITORIAL
ANNE COULTER, COMMENTATOR
Wouldnt it be easier if they had a few months
to get their voters to the polls? What if their voters didnt have to show up at all?
Why, yes! That would be much easier.
This is why the For the People bill mandates universal mail-in voting. Asking people
to show up to vote is a dirty trick to rig our
democracy, according to the left-wing group
Indivisible. Litter the countryside with mail-in
ballots months before an election or youre a
Nazi.
In fact, apart from a worldwide pandemic,
theres no reason for mail-in voting. Studies
show it increases voter turnout only modestly.
But mail-in voting sure presents a lot of opportunities for fraud! Its almost like Democrats
consider that a feature, not a bug.
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Election Data and Science Lab cited two main
avenues for mail-in ballot fraud:
First, the ballot is cast outside the public
eye, and thus the opportunities for coercion and
voter impersonation are greater.
In other words, instead of filling out a secret
ballot in the presence of election officials, you
will be out and about, at home, at the office, at
the ballpark with your ballot, able to prove to
others how you voted to impress them, or perhaps because youre being paid or threatened.
And thats assuming its you holding the ballot.
Second, the transmission path for [mailin] ballots is not as secure as traditional in-person ballots. These concerns relate both to ballots
being intercepted and ballots being requested
without the voters permission.
Not to worry! The Democrats deal with the
possibility of imposters requesting mail-in ballots by prohibiting the states from requesting
voter I.D.
Huh, thats odd. If you wanted to ensure that

Corporate media pursue news blackout in U.S.
The threat is gaining strength. It is affecting every single American citizen. It is
vicious, hateful and obscure. And the threat
will diminish your freedom.
It doesnt come from Donald Trump or
Joe Biden. Not from Nancy Pelosi or Mitch
McConnell. The threat has nothing to do with
Climate Change, Covid or China.
No, the forces who are punishing individual freedom are the powerful men and women
who run the mass market information corporations.
Let me explain.
In order for Americans to make intelligent
decisions about their society, leadership and
personal security, they need honest information, above all. Those who formed our country
obviously knew this because they gave the
press specific Constitutional freedoms and
privileges. But today honest reporting to
enhance the knowledge of all citizens has
largely disappeared. The media has been
corrupted by craven corporations who see the
American people as too stupid to know whats
noble, too bigoted to do the right thing.
Let me back that up.
Recently, I paid $3.15 a gallon to fill my
car with gas. Last year at this time, under
President Trump, I paid $2.15. Why the price
hike? Did Bidens assault on fossil fuel have
anything to do with it? Would be fascinating

Border authorities report close to 200,000
foreign nationals are crossing into the USA

had almost stopped mass illegal immigration?
That might be important to know, right?
Inflation is growing at its fastest rate in 13

In the past five years approximately 3,000
African-Americans in Chicago have been
murdered mostly by black criminals. Why?
And why havent the democrats who control Chicago done anything about it? CNN?
Bueller? Anyone?
I could give you 50 important stories that
the corporate media companies ignore simply
because they are trying to protect liberal politicians and woke causes.
The news blackout is corrupt and a threat
to us all.
Finally, one of the CEOs most responsible
for the destruction of honest information flow
is Bob Iger, who runs Disney and its media
arm ABC. We already know that ABCs top
entertainment programmer, in the name of
inclusion, is rejecting great scripts if they
are written by white people. We know this
because she said so. She could not have done
that without Igers approval.
Anyway, last week we learned that Bob
Iger sold $100 million dollars worth of Disney
stock. We know that because old Bob had to
file the sale with the SEC. But why did Iger
sell? Could it be he wanted out before Biden
and his minions raise the capital gains tax?
Looking forward to getting the truth on
World News Tonight.
Please dont discount the corporate threat.
It is very real.

Biden lets China keep its edge in military spending
Joe Biden isnt known for his austerity,
except when it comes to the nations defense.
As part of his welcome emphasis on competition with China, the president cajoled reluctant European countries at the G-7 summit
into releasing a statement critical of China, on
top of the announcement of an infrastructure
program meant to counter Chinas Belt and
Road Initiative.
Thats all fine as far as it goes, but a glaring
omission from Bidens campaign is a defense
budget that reflects the growing challenge
from Beijing.
Indeed, Biden justifies almost any
increased domestic spending as designed to
check Chinas ambitions, at the same time he
neglects what is most needful to keep China
from dominating its region and waging war on
our allies or perhaps the U.S. itself.
If we can deter China from taking Taiwan
with subsidies for electric cars, Biden is inarguably the Churchill of his time.
If we can counter Chinas defense buildup
with more funding for affordable housing,
Biden deserves to take his place beside Alfred
Thayer Mahan or George Kennan as great
strategic thinkers.
Otherwise, his approach is lacking, and
disturbingly so.
Bidens infrastructure plan, a sprawling
proposal that would spend $2.3 trillion on
everything from roads and bridges to affordable housing and elder care, is about the global competition with China, the president
insists.
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
RICH LOWRY, King Features Syndicate
By Bidens way of thinking, whatever
progressives have wanted to do for years is
suddenly a priority in the new Cold War.
The left-wing explainer website Vox now
claims, Improving domestic infrastructure
and investing in new and emerging technologies, especially clean energy technology, is
the best way the U.S. can challenge China for
supremacy on the world stage. The publication quoted a Democratic congressional aide,
The best way to enact a progressive agenda is
to use China [as a] threat.
There are indeed areas of advanced technology that we need to invest in, especially
semi-conductors and artificial intelligence (a
$250 billion Senate bill passed last week is an
imperfect step in this direction), but its not
true that we can simply windmill our way to
victory over China.
Although you might miss it listening to Biden,
there are threats from China that dont involve
infrastructure spending or clean energy initiatives.
China has been growing its annual defense
spending by more than 6% a year.
It has now surpassed the U.S. and technically has the largest navy in the world.
It is on pace to double its nuclear weapons
over the next decade.
It has flown hundreds of sorties near Taiwan
this year, and a top U.S. admiral warns that it
could invade in the next six years.
Given all that, one might expect the openhanded Biden to invest substantially in a
stronger, more advanced U.S. military, but his
profligacy doesnt extend so far. He increased
defense budget spending by about 2%, which
wont even keep up with inflation.
This doesnt come close to what we realistically need. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs
Mark Milley said at a U.S. Naval Institute
event late last year, Were going to have to
have a much larger fleet than we have today,
if were serious about great power competition
and deterring great power war. He called
for a 3-5% increase in the budget every year
but didnt think that was plausible because
of fiscal constraints (little did he know, the $6
trillion blowout to come in every other area of
the budget).
We should be spending more on defense, and
spending differently. With an eye to deterring

HISTORY
Council Grove historic store remodel complete
DIGGING UP THE PAST
Henry Roeckers
Call (785) 504-4722 for
local archeology information.
How many of you remember me writing about me
being involved with the KATP
(Archaeological Field Training
School) a few years ago in
Council Grove, Ks? We spent
hours excavating all the ground
surrounding the Last Chance
Store.
The early Council Grove store
offered essential goods amid the
boom of the Santa Fe Trail.
Council Grove was buzzing
when construction began on
the Last Chance Store. Built
by Northrup and Chick from
Westport, Missouri, this new
store was positioned to take
advantage of the growing traffic
along the Santa Fe Trail.
Made of wood and locally
quarried limestone, it was built
at the west edge of town, the last
place to purchase supplies before
continuing their journey.
The Santa Fe Trail was a long
commerce route, which had
begun in 1821; it spanned from
Missouri to Santa Fe, Mexico,
with the longest stretch through
Kansas. The heavily loaded wagons carrying goods like calico,
shoes, flour, whiskey, hardware,
and ammunition stopped to rest
in Council Grove. Here they
gathered supplies and prepared
for rugged portions of the trip yet
to come.
The Last Chance Store began
serving customers in 1857. In
addition to traders, the store
provided goods to local settlers
and Kaw Indians living on a
reservation nearby. Customers
purchased bacon, beans, coffee,
flour, sugar and salt as well as
clothing, tools, medicines and
livestock feed. Traffic reached
a peak in 1859 as gold seekers
passed through on their treks to
and from gold mines in Colorado.
Council Grove counted 2,440
men, 1,827 wagons, 429 horses,
15,714 oxen, 5,316 mules, 67 carriages and 9,608 tons of goods in
1858.
During our excavations these
bits of history from the Last
Chance Store were uncovered
during the Kansas Archeology
Training Program in 2016.
Numerous trade beads might
date from the stores early years
of operation.
The coins found, an 1844
Seated Liberty Quarter, an 1851
Three-Cent piece and a 1858
Penny, might have been used to
pay for supplies.
The Last Chance Store was
listed in the National Register
of Historic Places in 1971. It was
donated to the State of Kansas in
2015.
Renovation began while we
were there in 2016 and Im happy
to report it has been completely stored and it is wonderfully
maintained.

Juneteenth – The real history
With the creation last week
of Juneteenth as a national holiday, I have seen several posts
that, though meaning well in
celebrating the day, have made
mistakes about the history.
Even my own college wrote
that because the slaves in
Texas had not heard about the
Emancipation Proclamation,
they were not free until federal
troops arrived in Texas on June
19, 1865. Instead of my usual
routine of making a historical comparison, I want to take
time this week and clarify the
Emancipation Proclamation
and its role in Juneteenth. I
also want to give a warning
of a trend that I do not see as
helpful in national healing.
I know this is a minor issue,
but there is no connection
between the Emancipation
Proclamation and Juneteenth.
The reason is that the
Emancipation Proclamation
did not free any slaves. If you
are confused by this, trust me,
you are not alone. It is one of
the most misunderstood executive orders ever given. The
same President Lincoln who
had promised in his Inaugural
Address that he had no plans to
free any slaves and, even if he
did, he did not have the power
to do so, had a change of heart
by the summer of 1862.
Having endured a string of
military losses by that August,
Lincoln knew he needed to do
something to shake things up.
He now realized that this would
be a much longer war than
he had originally anticipated.
Also, by that summer, Lincoln,
who hated the institution of
slavery, had been receiving a
great deal of pressure to do
something about slavery from
abolitionists in his party and he
had been considering issuing
an emancipation order. What
made him nervous was that
the order might hurt the war
effort from Democrats, especially the border slave states
like Missouri and Kentucky
that had stayed loyal to the
Union. Once Lincoln decided
to issue the order, he needed to
wait for a military victory, so it
looked like he was making the
proclamation out of strength,
not desperation.
Finally, on Sept. 17, 1862,
Lincoln got the victory he needed. Though it is hard to call
the Battle of Antietam a victory, Robert E. Lees forces were
turned back from Maryland.
That was enough for Lincoln.
Five days later he issued the
Emancipation Proclamation.
The order stated, All persons
held as slaves within any States,
or designated part of the State,
the people whereof shall be in
rebellion against the United
States, shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free. As
good as this order seems, there
is a real catch. Only slaves who
were in states in rebellion were
set free. In other words, the
order did not apply to slaves in
states like Missouri, Kentucky,
Maryland, and Delaware where
Lincoln had authority. The
order applied only to slaves in
states where Lincoln did not.
As I stated at the beginning,
the
Emancipation
Proclamation did not really
free anyone. Slaves could now
free themselves. If slaves could
run away to northern lines or
to the Union Army, they would
be free. Prior to this, Lincoln
had ordered the army to return
all runaways. Even if slaves
in Texas had heard about the
Proclamation, it would have
made no difference. They were
no freer than slaves in any
southern state.
So
why
issue
the
Proclamation if it did not actually free slaves? First, it was
done as a military effort, which
was the way Lincoln justified
the legality of the order. Slaves
in the fields allowed for more
men to join the Confederate
armies. If slaves could now be
considered free and could run
to Union lines, then the South
would be deprived of a valuable
military resource. Secondly,
the order was meant to be an
encouragement. Though the
order was issued in September,
it was not going to take effect
until January 1, 1863. The idea
was that if any state (Lincoln
was gambling on the border states like Arkansas and
Tennessee) rejoined the Union
before January, then their
slaves would be protected. So,
the document that we associate
with freeing slaves was actually a way to protect it.
When we talk about
Juneteenth instead of mentioning the Emancipation
Proclamation, we need to mention the 13th Amendment. The
Emancipation Proclamation
was an executive order. As
such, it could and probably
would have been overturned
if Lincoln had lost reelection
in 1864. There was also a good
chance that the courts would
declare the Proclamation
unconstitutional, as most
executive orders should be.
To guarantee freedom for
slaves in all the states forever, he pushed for the 13th
Amendment, which did free
the slaves. The Amendment
was passed in Congress on Jan.
31, 1865, when Robert E. Lee
surrendered his army (only
his army, not the Confederacy)
on April 9. News of the surrender did not instantly reach
the west. General Kirby Smith,
who controlled Texas, surrendered May 26 and finally Stand
Waite in Indian Territory surrendered June 23. During that
time, on June 19, Texas slaves
heard that the war was over
and that slaves were now free.
Had they known about the
Emancipation Proclamation
earlier, it would not have mattered. It was the end of the war
and the 13th Amendment that
made them free.
Finally, one quick thought.
The official name of this new
national holiday is Juneteenth
National Independence Day.
While I completely support this
as a holiday, I believe the name
is intentionally packed with
political divisiveness. Just two
weeks after Juneteenth is our
nations actual Independence
Day. Though I try to stay away
from conspiracy theories in this
column, it seems as if this name
is an attack on our nations history. Many names could have
been used. I would have voted
for Emancipation Day, but
naming it Independence Day
seems as one more attempt to
minimize what our Founding
Fathers did in 1776. Yes, our
Founders owned slaves, and
yes, this nation was built upon
the backs of slaves, but it is still
the greatest nation on Earth.
Yes, it took a hundred years for
Jeffersons words on equality
to ring true and lets celebrate
that day but lets not forget
that first we had to create the
nation and then we could try to
live up its principles.

only eligible voters are voting,
wouldnt you want to oh
wait, I see.
Liberals will not rest until
convicted felons a key
Democratic constituency are
fully participating members
of our democracy. Or at least
have ballots that can be filled
out for them.
Unfortunately, some of our
more unenlightened states
believe that a person who has
been convicted of violating
societys laws should be denied
the right to choose who writes
them. The For the People bill
fixes that by forcing states to
give felons the right to vote.
Speaking of felons, the For
the People Act requires states
to automatically register people to vote whenever they provide information to state agencies, such as the Department
of Motor Vehicles, public uni-
versities, and, off the top of my
head, state welfare bureaucracies, unemployment offices and
prison facilities.
Thats a lot of ballots for
Democratic volunteers to mine!
In 1994, in response to
the stalking and murder of
actress Rebecca Schaeffer
by a crazed fan who got her
address through the California
Department of Motor Vehicles,
Congress passed the Drivers
Privacy Protection Act, prohibiting state DMVs from releasing personal information to the
public. One of the main sponsors was Sen. Barbara Boxer,
who recited case after case
of women stalked, harassed,
raped and killed by men who
had tracked their victims with
information provided by the
DMV.
With the automatic voter
registration in the For the
People bill, federal law would
require states to release that
information. Simply by getting
a drivers license or unemployment benefits, your name,
address and phone number
would be available to your
stalker through the voting
rolls. (Also to bill collectors,
parole officers, process servers, etc.) Voter registration
lists are publicly available for
electioneering purposes.
The
Democrats
voting rights bill is a stalkers
delight. But at least no one will
have his vote suppressed by
having to engage in the monstrously difficult task of registering to vote or showing up
on Election Day. Your choice,
America: A few pesky stalkers
kill their victims, or Democrats
call you racist.

state board used to require a
civics assessment but dropped
it.
Folks were saying no, we
need this, and thats why they
came to the legislature, she
said.
Parents are increasingly concerned about student
achievement as they learn it
is much lower than the State
Board and districts lead them
to believe.
The 2019 state assessment
shows there are more high
school students below grade
level (41%) than are on track
for college and career (25%) in
math.
Some districts are much
worse than others, but there is
low achievement everywhere
in Kansas. Johnson County
schools say they are the best in
the state, but they dont mention that 30% of their students
are below grade level in math
and only 37% are on track for
college and career.
The board, Baumgardner
said, is very selective in what
theyre willing to be responsible for. For instance, lawmakers passed legislation
creating a dyslexia task force.
According to Baumgardner, up
to 20% of Kansas kids have dyslexia. The state board directed
COVID money for literacy initiatives, but the initiatives do
not require hiring a dyslexia
coordinator.
If we are going to earmark
funding for that literacy, then
lets make sure that we have
that coordinator in place to
help direct the literacy initiatives, she said. Every step
forward that has occurred with
regard to the issue of dyslexia
has been the result of legislative action not the state
boardParents once again
kept coming to the Legislature
because they hit roadblocks at
the department of education,
so it was the Legislature that
formed the task force.
Sen. Renee Erickson, a
Wichita Republican on the
Senate Education Committee,
says the state board is not a
co-equal branch of Kansas government.
Do I think theres a unique
place for the state board? Yes.
But does the legislature ultimately have the authority and
responsibility for schools? And
the answer is yes, she said.
Just how equal the state
board of education is to the legislature, the executive and the
judicial branch is a question
that could be put before the
courts.
State board chair Jim
Porter, a Fredonia Republican,
suggested hes willing to ask
the question. He told the board
he was prepared to defy the
Legislature if the civics test
graduation
requirement
became law. Though Kelly
vetoed requiring the test for
graduation and requiring a
financial literacy course for
Kansas high school students,
lawmakers are likely to revive
both issues next session.
Theyll also likely consider
bans on curriculum like critical race theory, which teaches
students that our nation was
founded on white supremacy
and remains a racist nation.
The board asked its legal
counsel to draft a report on
court decisions related to the
state boards authority. Porter
will craft a statement of the
boards responsibilities to communicate to the legislature.
I want to make it clear what
our responsibilities are, and I
want to communicate those
with the stakeholders with an
equally strong message that
we want to be partners, working together instead of against
each other.

the budget recommends the
board use federal COVID relief
funding for security cameras.
However, board members say
federal guidelines prohibit
using COVID funding for that
purpose.
I do believe that for many
legislators theres a sense that
they know better.They think
theyre in charge, said Jim
McNiece, a state board member
from Wichita.
He cautioned the board,
however, to tone down its position on constitutional authority.
So we dont start from an
adversarial position. Even
though they dont play well, we
have to play well, he said.
Kansas is one of a handful of
states that elects a state board
of education. Per the state
constitution, it includes ten
members. The state constitution tasks its members with the
general supervision of public
schools, educational institutions, and all the educational
interests of the state, except
educational functions delegated by law to the state board of
regents.
Article 6 of the Kansas
Constitution tasks legislators
to provide for intellectual,
educational, vocational and
scientific improvement by
establishing and maintaining
public schools, educational
institutions and related activities.
Sen. Molly Baumgardner,
a Louisburg Republican, said
parents and students turn to
citizen legislators when they
believe their local school
boards and the state board
arent listening.
Kansans turn to their legislators for resolution, she said.
Thats how legislation to
require a civics test in order
to graduate from Kansas high
schools landed in lawmakers
laps. Baumgardner said the

Now that it is summer – Be careful outdoors Gum-Fowler attends pair of Southeast
By Rebecca Johnon
SEK Multi-County Health
Department Administrator
Summer officially began on
June
20th.
Sunshine
and warmer weather
entices
us
all to get outdoors more.
In turn, this
puts us at risk
of contracting
Johnson
vector-borne
(insect) and
zoonotic-borne (animal) diseases.
The American Dog Tick,
Lonestar Tick and Deer Tick
are the most encountered ticks
in Kansas. Ticks can transmit
serious/potentially fatal diseases. Lyme Disease, Rocky
Mountain Spotted Fever and
the Bourbon Virus are common
to our area. The Bourbon Virus
was identified in Bourbon
County, KS in 2014, where it
got its namesake.
Remember DDAC for tick-bite
prevention:
Dress – Wear long sleeves
and long pants if out in tall
grass or wooded areas. Tuck
shirt into pants, and pants
into long socks. Wear over-theankle shoes. Clothing should
be light colored to make ticks
more visible.
DEET – When outdoors, use
insect repellant containing 20
– 30% DEET on exposed skin
and clothing. Reapply per label
instructions.
Avoid – Regular mowing
will decrease tick encounters.
Avoid wooded, brushy areas
with tall grass and leaf litter.
Check – Check yourself for
ticks every couple of hours
while outdoors for an extended time. Check in and around
hair, backs of ears, in belly button, under arms, between legs
and backs of knees. The best
method for removing ticks is to
grasp it with tweezers as close
to the skin as possible and pull
up gently.
If you are feeling sick, have
a fever or rash after potentially
having a tick bite, call your
doctor as soon as possible.
West Nile Virus (WNV) is
the most common mosquito-borne disease in Kansas and
the US. Symptoms of severe illness include high fever, headache, neck stiffness, stupor,
disorientation, coma, tremors,
convulsions, muscle weakness, vision loss, numbness
and paralysis. People over 60
years of age are at greater risk.
According to KDHE, our region
is at moderate probability at
this time of being bitten by a
WNV carrying mosquito.
For WNV prevention residents should wear mosquito
repellent, where long sleeves
and long pants as weather permits, use mosquito netting on
baby carriages and playpens,
and dump standing water twice
weekly. Also, avoid outdoors
when mosquitoes are most
active.
Rabies is a viral disease that
affects the nervous system.
Rabies is typically spread by an
infected animal biting another
animal or a human. Raccoons
account for most of the cases
of rabies in wild animals, fol-
lowed by skunks, bats, foxes
and coyotes. If you are exposed
to the saliva of these animals
in the wild, through a bite or
close encounter, you should
call your doctor to be evaluated
for rabies prophylaxis. Given
on time, this treatment prevents the development of rabies
if you are indeed exposed. If
left untreated, once signs and
symptoms appear, the disease
is practically 100% deadly.
It is important to stay a safe
distance from wildlife, but
if you do happen to have an
encounter with a wild animal,
wash the area immediately
with soap and water and consult with a healthcare provider
as soon as possible.
Have an enjoyable summer,
with lots of time spent outdoors, and remember to take
precautions to prevent insect
and animal-borne diseases.

Music makes for better sales Avoiding catastrophe
HOW TO SELL STUFF
Dane Hicks
Review Publisher
anization, traffic, a crying baby
and most of them just arent
all that pleasant.
The fact is, there are a lot
of things that can affect customer behavior. Things like
past experience always come
into play along with retail displays, color use, store layout,
not to mention personal issues
among customers like money
and other mood determiners.
But research has proven if
you match background music
not just to your customers but
also your brand, you can get
people to linger longer about
18 percent longer on average
and boost their spending by as
much as 17 percent or more.
Business Insiders website
reviews a handful of research
examples that confirm the
impact. Grocery stores, which
do more retail than anybody,
pioneered customer mood
research and found that louder
music made customers move
through a store more quickly but didnt appear to reduce
purchases. Softer, lower tempo
music increased their length
of stay and increased the
purchases they made. High
brow classical music may
make people buy more at a
restaurant or wine shop, but it
also paints the picture in customers minds that things in
this store are more expensive,
and that may affect their shopping pattern development and
chances/frequency of returning there to shop.
What kind of music should
you play? Consider your customer profile and the fact that
your small business more than
likely seeks customers from a
range of ages and backgrounds.
The melba toast approach is
probably best, and if your customer profile changes on certain days of the week or during
the day, be ready to match it
with appropriate music.
Music soothes the savage
beast, and it can also help you
sell stuff.

I bet my story is not unique,
and I would guess all of us in
agriculture have similar stories of near misses and many
of us were not so lucky. What
is the difference between a
near miss and a catastrophic
accident? The answer is luck.
What can we do to make sure
we are not in that situation?
The answer is to slow down
and realize that the more we
hurry and the more corners
we cut the more dangerous
this job gets. Throw in the
long hours and stress and it is
a dangerous combination, but
one that can be avoided.
Please, in this time of busy
be careful and cautious; go
the extra mile and slow down.
Remember, those of us in agriculture account for less than 2
percent of the population, we
cannot afford to lose anyone.

I admit it, I was in a hurry
and more than a little annoyed
the pin was not coming out
easy. In any case, I set my
shoulders and gave the hitch
pin an extra hard pull. It
came and what happened next
was a blur. The rake rolled
back, the jack gave out and
everything fell straight down.
Straight down on my foot. I
was stunned at first and then
I realized the rake was on my
foot. I could not move my foot
and had to have dad come over
with another jack.
Actually, it was on my boot
and near my foot. It did not
take too long to get the rake
off, and I assessed the situation. It had sliced through the
leather toe of my boot, which I
am fairly sure is tougher than
my foot. Then it hit me, just
how close I had come to losing
at least part of my foot and
just how lucky I was to not be
alone that day. Another inch
or two and my life would have
changed forever.

This is the season of busy

as though we are simultaneously in wheat harvest, crop
planting, haying and there
are always things to do with

Wheat prices open
opportunity for swine diets
MANHATTAN, Kan. Kansas
State University swine nutritionists say that lower prices
for wheat compared to other
commodities currently makes
it a good value for pig diets.
Wheat is an excellent feed
grain for swine, but usually is
not competitively priced with
corn in the United States, said
Mike Tokach, a swine nutritionist with K-State Research
and Extension. Wheat, he
noted, is more traditionally
part of swine diets in Canada,
Europe and Australia.
In most situations, corn and
sorghum are less expensive
grain sources in the United
States. Lower prices for wheat
as well as corns higher
demand for export and ethanol
markets has vaulted wheat
to being the more economical
option.
As long as diets are balanced, wheat can replace all or
part of the corn in swine diets
without affecting growth performance, Tokach said.
Tokach noted that the concentration of starch and fiber
in wheat is similar to corn,
though wheat contains significantly less oil and thus is lower
in energy content (91% to 97%
relative to corn, according to
industry research).
But wheat does offer greater
values for crude protein, phosphorus and amino acid content,
particularly lysine, threonine
and tryptophan; and the ileal
digestibility of the amino acids
is relatively high and similar
to that in corn, according to
Tokach.
Because wheat is lower
energy than corn, feed efficiency will be a little worse with
wheat unless fat is added to
balance the diets for energy,
Tokach said. But even with
the change in feed efficiency,
wheat is economical at the current time.
He added: When wheat is
used, less soybean meal and
more feed-grade lysine can be
used in the diet, which also
favors the economics for wheat.
These advantages will lower
the feed cost per pig if wheat is
used at the current time.
Changing prices for commodities will naturally affect
the current opportunity for
feeding wheat, Tokach said.
More information on swine
nutrition is available online
from K-State Research and
Extension. Producers are also
encouraged to contact their
local extension agent.
Cattle Chat: Investing
in genetic testing
MANHATTAN, Kan. The
saying knowledge is power
often rings true in making
decisions, and in the case of
beef cattle genetic tests, this
information can be a powerful
tool provided producers know
how to interpret the information for the herd, according to
a Kansas State University beef
cattle geneticist and animal sciences professor.
Speaking on a recent
Cattle Chat podcast, Jennifer
Bormann said that recordkeeping is the first step in building
and genetic evaluation for the
herd.
Genetic testing is not a substitute for good recordkeeping.
The best way to make progress
in the performance of the herd
is to record data to include
birth weights, weaning weights
and fertility, Bormann said.
Working with a genetic evaluation service provider, such
as a breed association, will
allow EPDs (Expected Progeny
Difference) to be calculated.
In recent years, genetic
testing — or genomics — has
been developed to the point
that samples are taken from
the animal and analyzed in a
lab for a fee, allowing producers to know the most precise
information about the tested
animal, Bormann said.
On its own, a genomic test
has limited value, but when it
is combined with good recordkeeping and put into a system
that allows you to make genetic predictions, then it is very
valuable, Bormann said.
All tests have limitations,
she added, so it is important to
remember that there are genetic correlations between traits
when making herd decisions.
If we select for one trait, we
may be inadvertently changing another trait, which is
why data collection is key,
Bormann said. If we have the
data, we can select around a
negative relationship between
the traits.
For producers sorting traits
by economic value, Bormann
directs them to look to the
selection index.
Selection index uses the
actual economic calculations
for a trait to help identify which
animals will be the most profitable, she said. The caveat
is that each producer must be
judicious in selecting the right
index to match the goals for
their operation.
For example, if a producer sells the calves at weaning
time, there is no need to use an
index that emphasizes carcass
traits, Bormann said.
By selecting the index that
matches your goals, youll
be able to find the best cattle
to work in your operation,
Bormann said.
