Board member: Medicaid
increase for SEKMHC was
life changing money
Spencer says agency
can probably get by
without tax subsidies
BY DANE HICKS THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT Anderson
County Commissioners on
Monday stopped short of
replacing one of their representatives to the Southeast
Kansas Mental Health
Center regional board, but
made it plain more than
$90,000 in county subsidy
to the organization may not
be in the pipeline after this
year.
And Dana Spencer, one
of two representatives
from Anderson County to
the organizations board
of directors and one of the
longest serving board members in the region, told
commissioners a bonanza
of Medicaid funding would
probably keep the organization afloat without that local
tax money.
Spencer told commissioners a boost in federal
Medicaid revenues what
she described as life changing money for SEKMHC
came when the organization became a Certified
Community
Behavioral
Health Clinic in 2022. That
certification
drastically increased its Medicaid
funding for services, she
said, and enabled the cen-
ter, which operates mental
health programs in all six
member counties to expand
its services to an $80 million annual budget with
some 400 employees. It also
eventually acquired two
primary healthcare related
businesses in the region to
fill in gaps where services
either didnt exist or might
be threatened if SEK didnt
step in.
Commissioners declined
Spencers inital request to
discuss the controversial
salary issues at SEKMHC in
closed session. County counselor James Campbell said
exemptions to the Kansas
Open Meetings Act did not
apply to the agency salary
issue.
That Medicaid funding
increase also provided for
the large hikes in executive
salaries which has aggravated commissioners, who
commit annual tax dollars
to the regional center, since
the salary information
became public earlier this
year. Anderson County budgeted more than $90,000 for
the organization this year.
Spencer said as an
Anderson County taxpayer
herself, the commissioners
consternation at continuing
to fund SEKMHC, considering its new available revenue, was understandable.

GARNETT Anderson County
Rural Fire Director Cruz Gillespie
got approval from county commissioners Monday to revive research
into a rural fire station project in
Garnett which was mothballed in
2020, after Covid price increases
slammed the regional construction
industry and blew estimates for the
project out of the water.
Gillespie told commissioners
he was hoping to set up a project
group to discuss ideas for a structure at a site previously planned to
house vehicles and equipment for
Garnetts rural fire team on West
Seventh Street in Garnett that
would basically ignore engineering
drawings gathered in 2019, which
Gillespie said was too large for the
actual need for the Garnett rural
department and massed the added
costs.

until mid-morning Saturday after a northbound
vehicle left U.S. 169 and sheared a utility pole
before coming to rest in a cornfield. A Kansas

that allow or require teachers
to conceal from parents information concerning the social
transitioning of their children.
That a Kansas school district would so cavalierly act
to hide such information from
parents is shockingly irresponsible, Kobach said.
In addition to the policies
that allow districts to hide
information from parents,
three of the districts — Kansas
City, Shawnee Mission, and
Topeka — maintain policies
that force students to share
bathrooms, locker rooms, and
other intimate spaces based on
a students proclaimed gender
identity.
Kobachs letter comes on the
heels of a Defense of Freedom
Institute for Policy Studies
complaint filed on June 24
which requested an investigation into the same four Kansas
school districts for their policies that actively undermine
parental rights.
In December of 2023, Kobach
sent letters to six Kansas
school boards urging them to
reconsider such policies. Two
districts revised or rescinded their policies. The other
four KCK, Olathe, Shawnee
Mission, and Topeka refused.
I respectfully urge your
department to review the harmful and illegal district policies
described in DFIs letter and
open an investigation of these
school districts failure to comply with FERPA and Title IX
by concealing critical information from parents about their
childrens psychological and
emotional health and requiring
students to share sex-separated
intimate spaces with individuals of the opposite sex, the
letter reads.

Be mindful of kids around outdoor fires this summer
TOPEKA With the season
upon us in Kansas for outdoor cooking and campfires,
its important to remember fire
can cause serious injuries to
children.
In fact, summer is the season when there is an increase
in emergency room visits due
to fire and burn injuries. Safe
Kids Kansas and the Kansas
State Fire Marshal (KSFM)
remind families to take simple steps to make sure your,
What I Did This Summer,
story doesnt include a trip to
the emergency department.
Data from 2019-2023 shows
that as summer approaches,
there is an increase in the number of fire and burn emergency
department visits in Kansas.
Emergency department visits more than doubled during
this period compared to winter
months. The highest number of
emergency department visits
occurred in July.
Many families enjoy summer traditions that include
fire, such as grilling food and
making smores, Cherie Sage,
Safe Kids Kansas, said. Be fire
smart when you head outdoors
and be prepared to take extra
precautions when you may be
far from a water source.
Actively supervise children
around all fires and fireworks.
Your safest option is to attend
a public fireworks show and
leave it to the professionals.
Teach kids how to stop, drop
and roll if their clothing catches fire.
Create a three-feet child and
pet-free safety zone around any
fire pit, chiminea or grill.
Only use grills outdoors.
Position your grill at least 10
feet away from your home and
away from any overhanging
eaves, branches or deck railings.

Ruthann (Peine) Tonak,
age 74, of Roscoe, IL, passed

Tonak
to
Aaron
and Maxine
(Peters) Peine. She graduated from Garnett High School.
Ruthann married Dennis Tonak
on June 7, 1980 at St. Boniface,
Scipio (rural Garnett), KS.
Over the years Ruthann had
a variety of employment as a
CNA, dental lab technician,
receptionist-secretary, and
nursing home activities director. Ruthann loved children.
This led her to employment as
an on-site day care manager in
Texas, operating an in-home
day care when Nathan and
Matthew were young, and as a
paraprofessional assisting children with special needs. She
was passionate about her work;
extending the same love and
support she gave her family to
the children she worked with.
Ruthann enjoyed sitting outside in the sunshine, reading
books, seeing movies, and going
out to eat. She had become a
regular follower of the "Pickles
with Opal and Earl" cartoon
strip, which she often shared
with Dennis. She looked forward to trips to Kansas and
South Dakota to visit with family and friends.
Ruthann is survived by her
loving husband, Dennis; children Lisa (Tom) Van Dyke,

She is preceded in death by
her parents, Aaron and Maxine
Peine, her parents-in-law
Donald and Eunice Tonak, her
brothers Larry Peine and Dale
Peine, and sister-in-law Sharon
Tonak.
Ruthann touched many lives
with her kindness, patience,
humor, and understanding. We
celebrate the life she lived, the
love she shared, and the memories she created. Ruthann left a
lasting impact on the hearts of
the loved ones she left behind.
Visitation will be held
Friday, June 27, 2025 from
4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. in
McCorkle Funeral Home, 767

place to be Rockton Township

family requests that donations
may be made in Ruthann's
memory to Faith Lutheran
Church, Beloit Health System
Foundation, American Heart
Association or National Kidney
Foundation.
We invite you to share your
memories of Ruthann, to celebrate her life and the love she
shared. You are encouraged
to leave messages and upload
photos to Ruthann's memorial
page, to keep her memory alive
in our hearts and minds. As
we remember Ruthann, let us
remember the love and dedication she showed us all, and
strive to emulate her in our
own lives.

Leola Henderson, age 104, of
Garnett, Kansas, passed away
on Sunday, June 15, 2025, at

in
Garnett.
She was
born
on

of Elmer and
Ida

During World War II, Leola
worked for four years at North

was relatively brief, she took
great pride in contributing to
the war effort and was honored
to be part of such a significant
moment in history.
Leola was united in marriage to Paul Henderson in
1947. This union was blessed
with one son, David. They made
their home in Iola, Kansas.
She lived in Garnett from
1990 until 1993, when she
returned to Iola and worked
at Maloney Greenhouse.
Leola returned to Garnett in
September of 1999.
She was a devoted and loving mother to her only son,
David, and took great pride in
raising him. Leola was deeply committed to Davids education and success, forming a
close and unbreakable bond
with him throughout his life.
Their shared memories-especially their treasured Sunday
drives and heartfelt conversations-remained a vital part of
her life. These moments, filled
with laughter and reflections,
brought her immense joy.
Later in life, Leola found one of
her greatest joys in becoming a
grandmother. She adored making memories with her grandchildren, hosting sleepovers,
and creating a warm and loving home they always looked
forward to visiting. Leola had
a passion for cooking and was
known for her delicious meals,
never missing a breakfast for
her husband and son. Her
homemade dinner rolls were
especially loved-always made
to perfection and remembered
fondly by family and friends.
She also discovered a new
hobby of restoring old trunks,
and many people in the area
still treasure them today. Leola
was an active member of the
Iola First Christian Church.
She generously gave her time
to the community, assisting
with Cub Scouts and serving
as a dedicated room mother
during Davids school years.
Leola was preceded in death
by her parents; her husband,
Paul Henderson in 1979; her
brother, Clifford McDermeit;
J.R. McDermeit; and sister,
Anna Rose Smith.
She is survived by her son,
Dr. David Henderson and
wife Edna of Garnett, Kansas;
grandchildren, Brenda Platt
and husband Scott of Colby,
Kansas, Steve Henderson and
wife Misty of Oklahoma City,
Oklahoma, Nicci Denny and
husband Shawn of Garnett,
Kansas; eight great- grandchildren, two great-great grandchildren; a very special niece,
Linda McDermeit, and many
other nieces and nephews.

A Celebration of Life was
held June 25 at the McLouth
First Baptist Church.
Can our message and
our God be trusted?
We know Jesus has sent us
as his disciples into the world
to make disciples. But the
world is asking us a question
about this mission: Can our
message and our God be trusted? Is the offer of Gods grace
– that we can know Christ; be
saved from the consequences
of our sin and gain eternal life
in God – really legitimate? As
Christians we believe we serve
a God who is just, righteous
and holy. Naturally those
opposed or indifferent toward
Christianity portray God as
uncaring, willing to consign
large portions of humanity to
condemnation or they emphasize a God whose will is done
regardless of human choice.
The question then becomes is
there a way to think of God
and his plan that emphasizes
human responsibility while
acknowledging our desperate
need for a Savior? Ultimately
that answer resides with God
alone. But one thing we can
say for sure is our choices matter. We can pray to God to help
us make our decisions, but we
know that our decisions are not
made for us. We are responsible for them.
The Apostle Peter reveals
Gods will for man in 2 Peter 3:9
when he says; The Lord is not
slow in keeping his promise, as
some understand slowness. He
is patient with you, not want-
WEEKLY DEVOTIONAL
BY DAVID BILDERBACK
ing anyone to perish but everyone to come to repentance.
The fact that some will not be
saved reflects the degree of
human depravity in the world.
In Matthew 13:15 Jesus tells us
the problem. For this peoples
heart has become calloused;
they hardly hear with their
ears, and they have closed their
eyes. Otherwise they might see
with their eyes, hear with their
ears, understand with their
hearts and turn and I (Jesus)
would heal them.
If you are not a Christian
your choice is to repent or turn
away from sin toward God. If
you are a Christian you must
act and live as if your choices
are real and you are ultimately
responsible for what you say or
do.

Bruce Symes spoke about
Paul's conversion in Acts 9 and
22. Paul did not have the type of
conversion where a slow gradual understanding takes place
like in the two disciples on the
road to Emmaus in Luke 24:
13-35. Paul had a startling dramatic conversion on the road to
Damascus that left him blinded. The response of a saved
soul is complete obedience to
God's will. Each believer is
commissioned to live in obedience (John 14:15), love one
another (1 John 2:23), become
Christlike (Philippians 3:10)
and to "Go and make disciples
of all the nations, baptizing
them in the name of the Father
and of the Son and of the Holy
Spirit." (Matthew 28:18). After

Please join us on Thursday

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Thursday, June 26, 2025
OPINION
Schools no safeguard of morality
Christian parents at their wits end with
schools sexual and racial indoctrination of
their children should be waking up to a mournful reality:
Its a fools errand to rely on public schools to
hand down morality.
For one thing, God the source of all morality is no longer welcome in public schools.
They are perhaps the only place in the endless
stretches of His creation where Hes not allowed
to tread.
Indeed, the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of
Appeals, recognized as one of the most conservative appellate courts in the nation, agreed with
a lower-court judge last week that Louisianas
new law requiring the display of the Ten
Commandments in public schools is plainly
unconstitutional.
Should the U.S. Supreme Court agree
despite displaying the Ten Commandments and
their messenger Moses in its own building the
case will extinguish any pointless hope of teaching God-inspired morality in public schools.
Its clear we wont even begin to repair
the moral rot, growing like black mold in the
nations dank soul, through the public schools.
Well just have to look elsewhere.
To God, of course. In church, naturally, but
also in every aspect and avenue of our lives.
We must also look to parents, who are childrens first teachers anyway. Parents must simply double down, triple down, quadruple down,
on their teaching about God and morality.
And new parents, be forewarned by a medium that has covered this extensively: Many
schools and librarians have entirely abdicated
any responsibility to protect your children from
the growing depravity and sexual grooming in
childrens books.
Just one example: a talking book, obviously
for those toddlers not even yet able to read,
called The GayBCs which teaches the alphabet
using sexually identifying words such as trans,
intersex, bi(sexual), pan(sexual) and non-binary.
Young readers will therefore grow up remembering, for instance, that D is for drag.
You cant make this up. Nor can you count
on public schools and libraries to keep such
depravity from your children.
What can parents do?
Consider Christian schooling. If you need
financial help, fight for school choice laws
which provide funds for education freedom to

MICHAEL RYAN, THE HEARTLANDER
those who cant afford it. Or move to a state that
already offers it.
Is the protection of your children not worth
such extravagance?
Moreover, people of faith must also rise up
in the public square and take the cultures
degeneracy and Godlessness on like one would
a Goliath. Dont support the entertainment
medias moral incontinence with your eyes or
dollars and make it known that you dont.
Join the growing horde of citizens fighting
against vileness and for virtue at school board
and city and county meetings.
If some should suggest youre being puritanical or prudish, ask them what their rudderless approach to navigating lifes waters has
wrought, if not lost souls, shattered lives and
fractured families.
Theyll also likely accuse you of imposing
your morality on them richly, after decades
of having meaninglessness, secular self-indulgence and naked narcissism imposed on you.
Without meaning in our lives theres a vast
void which legendary Holocaust survivor and
philosopher Viktor Frankl called the existential vacuum. Nature, as we know, abhors a
vacuum and the existential vacuum is quickly
filled with three things, Frankl said: aggression,
depression and addiction.
Isnt that what you see today on Americas
streets and in its culture and in the eyes of the
real-life zombies drugging themselves to death
on sidewalks?
Isnt it meaningless aggression you see at
anti-Israel, anti-government protests and riots,

No telling how many lives Trumps secure border has saved
Exact numbers on how many deaths, intentional or otherwise, are caused by illegal immigrants in America are hard to come by, but the
tragic killings of people like Laken Riley and so
many others at the hands of illegals should make
us ask, how many lives has President Trumps
secure border already saved?
One of lifes small cruelties is that when
one acts responsibly and strongly, as Trump
has here, they tend not to get credit for the bad
things that dont happen. But we should make an
exception for the miracle of the Rio Grande.
What there can be absolutely no doubt about
is that, somewhere this weekend at a cookout or
a bowling alley, there are people enjoying their
friends and family who would not be here but for
Trumps border actions.
The numbers are simply stunning, almost to
the point of Monty Python-level absurdity. In
May of 2024, 62,000 illegal migrants were released
into the U.S. Last month that number was zero,
zilch, nada.
Likewise, back when Grandpa Joe Biden was
running the show, there were often over 10,000
encounters a day on the southern border, but
last Sunday, there were a total of 95, the lowest
number ever recorded over 24 hours.
To put this in perspective, you could put 95
people in two Waffle House restaurants with
room at the counter to spare.
It is fair to say that this remarkable closing
of the open wound that was flooding our nation
with millions of illegal migrants as well as
fentanyl and targets of terrorist watchlists, is
among the most complete and swiftest handlings
of a crisis in American history.
COMMENTARY
DAVID MARCUS, FOX NEWS
If Kamala Harris was in office today, a million
illegals could have come in by now. How many
gang members? How many rapists? How many
deadly doses of fentanyl?
Let us not forget how vociferously we were
informed that what Trump has done, shutting
down the border, was absolutely impossible
without acts of Congress. In the giant gumball
machine of lies told by the Biden administration,
this was among the most stale.
Liberal news outlet The Washington Post is
being mocked online and by the White House for
pathetic reporting on what the outlet calls a
mysterious decline in fentanyl flowing across
the border.
It goes back even further than Bidens
incompetence. While Trump had surely tamped
down illegal immigration in his first term, before
that, Barack Obama, George W. Bush, and Bill
Clinton, had all failed to get a handle on the situ-
ation.
Part of the problem years ago, and still an
issue in Trumps deportation policies, is that
some industries, like farming and hospitality,
rely heavily on illegal labor. But given that there
are already 10-20 million illegals in America,
thanks to Biden, we certainly dont need any
more.
And the ongoing deportations, which polling
consistently shows voters approve of, also play
a role in securing the southern border. When
one sees people being arrested for jumping the
turnstile, it makes them less likely to try it themselves.
Deportations turn off the magnet that attracts
migrants, and by ending the disastrous catchand-release policy, Trump has freed our border agents, to actually enforce border security
instead of being desk clerks at the Hotel America.
According to the Center for Immigration
Studies, fentanyl seizures at the southern border
are down 50% since November. A huge part of
the reason for this is that without the cover of
100,000 illegal migrants a day, smuggling drugs
gets much, much harder.
Less fentanyl coming into the country means
fewer Americans dying of overdoses, a result
that surely everyone should cheer.
Americans can be forgiven for not quite knowing how to react to such a resounding and total
victory as Trump has achieved on the border.
We certainly are not used to it, but we would be
wise not to take it for granted.
With the border closed, a million people

The new RESIST bunch remeniscent of desegregation battles
On Sept. 30, 1962, the University of Mississippi
experienced a mostly peaceful demonstration.
As with all such protests, it was peaceful until
it wasnt — it became a riot, and a particularly
heinous and destructive one.
The mob attacked federal officers, including
border patrol agents, with rocks and Molotov
cocktails. They burned cars. They smashed
streetlights. They ransacked buildings. They
drove vehicles at the officers. And they did it all
to try to prevent the federal government from
enforcing the law.
This, discerning readers will realize, was the
notorious Battle of Oxford, when students at Ole
Miss and outside agitators exploded in fury to
prevent the enrollment of James Meredith, an
African-American, who was under the protection of federal agents.
President John F. Kennedy had federalized
the Mississippi National Guard days before the
disturbance, and sent in the Army when things
got out of hand. Eventually, he drew on 31,000
troops, a necessary exercise of overwhelming
force.
Now, once again, mobs are in the streets in
opposition to federal power and federal law. We
are probably at the beginning stages of another
titanic struggle over whether the writ of federal
law will run in jurisdictions opposed to it, and
over the morality of those underlying laws.
To use a term borrowed from segregationists
in Virginia in the 1950s, the opponents of ICE are
engaged in a campaign of massive resistance.
Virginia Democrat Harry Byrd and his allies
came up with an across-the-board strategy to
undermine Brown v. Board of Education. If we
can organize the Southern states for massive
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
RICH LOWRY, King Features Syndicate
resistance to this order, Byrd said, I think that
in time the rest of the country will realize that
racial integration is not going to be accepted in
the South.
Similarly, Democratic officeholders and
activists hope to make ICE raids so politically
toxic and so painful to implement that the federal government stands down and accepts the
status quo of routine lawlessness.
The opposition is relying on a version of
another doctrine of the Southern resisters: nullification. This is the idea that states can invalidate federal laws that they deem an offense
against our constitutional order.
This notion has a long, undistinguished history in this country as a precursor to the Civil
War and, later, as a tool to attempt to preserve
segregation. Although it is most associated with
the South, other parts of the country have tried
to resort to it as well.
Now progressive cities and states are joining the list. They have no equivalent of John
C. Calhoun, the brilliant, if catastrophically
wrong, South Carolina statesman who developed a sophisticated defense of the concept.
Instead, they want de facto nullification, or
nullification as a practical matter rather than a
theory.
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has been quite
clear about this. We need to stop the raids, she
insists. The only thing it does is contribute to
chaos. Her attitude would take Los Angeles
well beyond its status as a sanctuary city, which
involves not affirmatively cooperating with the
feds, and make it something else — effectively a
no-go zone for immigration officers and a jurisdiction that affirmatively resists them.
Of course, the anti-ICE resistance would
reject any association with the massive resistance of yore, arguing that its cause is just, in
contrast to the segregationist South. But violent
opposition to law enforcement officers acting
within their lawful powers is deeply wrong,
whatever the underlying cause (and the mass
illegal immigration imposes significant costs on
our society).
If enforcing our laws is offensive to progressives, they should seek to change the statutes in
question and pass a large-scale amnesty, rather
than relying on a rioters veto to dictate what
ICE agents can do and where they can go.
Violent mobs have no legitimate part to
play in our democratic republic, not in Oxford,
Mississippi, in 1962, not in Los Angeles,
California, or anywhere else inspired by its sordid example in 2025.

that.
Im so grateful that the Trump administration didnt alert Congress to the actions taken
to eliminate Irans nuclear sites. With the
Democrats history of leaking to the press, the
mission would have gone sideways. Democrats
are the real threat, as witnessed daily by whats
happening to American citizens by these traitors who put illegals first.
I would like to extend my appreciation to the
City of Greeley and in particular, the city
waterman who took care of our water hauling
needs while the Garnett water hauling station
was down.
I saw the story in the paper a couple of weeks
about about the Garnett school board having
two positions that nobody even filed for and
it really got me thinking. People in Garnett
always seem to support their kids. The music
programs at school are always packed, at least
the parents and the grandparents go to the
sporting events even though they leave a lot
be desired, everybody donates money to kids
things. But no one wants to be on the school
board, something that really matters.

KATP kicks off at Rebel
Hill in Douglas County
From June 6 thru the 15th
I attended the 2025 Kansas
Archeology Training Field
School held in Douglas County.
This years field school was
focused on a territorial period
structure built in 1857, known
as Rebel Hill or Mt. Aeoia.
The structure was originally
a mansion built and lived in
by Frederick P Stanton and
his family. Stanton served the
Kansas Territory in 1857 for
nine months as the Secretary
and twice as acting Governor.
Various families occupied the
property after Stanton sold it
in 1862. Then in the 1940s, it
was sold to Governor Henry H.
Woodring for restoration work.
Woodring, however, did not
restore the property, and the
integrity of the mansion deteriorated over time. Eventually,
to prevent unwanted visitors,
the mansion was partially
demolished. All that remains
today is a few stone basement
walls, a pile of rubble, rocks
and bricks.
This mansion was built on
400 hundred acres of land overlooking the river.

June 26 There was a company of lightning rod swindlers
in the city, Monday, we were
told, who made a raid on the
unsuspecting grangers, this
week. Their plan is to offer to
put up the rod for a small sum,
take a note for the amount and
afterward cash the same, when
it turns up that the note calls
for a hundred or so dollars
more than the supposed note
given by the swindled party.
Look out for the rascals.

Revelations that key management posts within the organization were paid salaries in
the hundreds of thousands of
dollars rankled county commissioners when the information became public earlier this
spring. SEK director Nathan
Fawsons salary was listed on
the organizations federal tax
forms at more than $400,000
annually with some $191,000
in additional compensation.

effort in recent years to update
rural fire facilities across the
county in order to increase the
effectiveness of fire and emergency response in rural areas
outside Garnett and to assist
first responders in nearby communities. The proposed project was estimated initially at
between $750,000 and $800,000,
but the lowest initial bid came
in at $1.6 million.
Price hikes hit the entire
country in those early days of
the pandemic. The U.S. Bureau
of Labor reported comparisons
Allen, Linn, Neosho, Woodson
and Bourbon, have discussed
the possibility of dropping or
reducing their subsidies since
SEK can afford those high salaries.
Spencer said the salary plan
was a recommendation from a
private consultant, who based
them on commensurate salaries for similar duties across
various industries in the U.S.
She was comfortable at the
time because she thought the
company did a very thorough
and exhaustive job in the analysis that led to the recommendations. Commissioners have
made the point the pay levels
are far and above averages for
Kansas. Fawsons salary is the
highest paid to any executive
director of all 26 mental health
districts in the state.
County commission chairman Les McGhee said exponentially higher costs for county
road supplies, insurance, payroll and other expenses as well
as public outcry over valua-
tions and tax rates made public officials sensitive to examples of largesse involving tax
money.
We look at this from what
were paying, and what the
other five counties are paying,
and then we look at his salary
and it doesnt taste very good.
County commissioners the
previous week refused to sign
and send a regular cash disbursement check to SEKMHC
of some $32,000, citing unresolved angst over the salary
revelations. Allen County
Commissioners removed both
their SEK board members earlier this month and appointed
a county commissioner and
another local man to the posts.
Increasing Medicaid funding for Certified Community
Behavioral Health Clinics
(CCBHCs) under the Biden
Administration was a key strategy for expanding public access
to mental health and substance
abuse services. Federal legislation like the Bipartisan Safer
Communities Act (BSCA) has
allocated significant funding
for CCBHC expansion, including both grant programs and
Medicaid payments.
States are also encouraged
to participate in the CCBHC
Medicaid
Demonstration
Program, which includes planning grants and demonstration grants to implement the
CCBHC model.
The federal government
allocated over $1.7 billion for
expansion grants and an estimated $8.5 billion earmarked
for CCBHC Medicaid payments
between 2022 and 2032, according to the Amercan Journal of
Managed Care.
But a focus on waste, fraud
and abuse in federal agencies
by the Trump Administration
means CCBHCs and other
Medicaid funded program may
face fiscal examinations that
could impact future funding
and expansion.
between the summer of 2019
and the summer of 2020 that
showed a 25.7 percent increase
in the costs for softwood lumber with nearly a 10 percent
increase over the 30 days from
July to August of that year.
Plywood products were up 19.2
over the year and 20.2 percent
month-to-month as well. The
site said a 31 percent jump in
the price of diesel fuel from
June to July amounted to
about half the overall increase.
Concrete prices also doubled
between 2020 and 2021.
Calming of the construction
economy since Covid and higher interest rates that impacted
construction brought lumber
prices to near pre-pandemic
levels, analysts say, but the
Garnett project would be mostly steel, Gillespie said.
Steel prices along with concrete and costs of labor are still
high in the Midwest, analysts
say, but the region is still one
of the more affordable ones in
which to build when looking at
other regions like the Northeast
or West Coast. Kansas City
Federal Reserve reports say
Builders in the Kansas City
region have felt pressured by
robust increases in material
prices, particularly for materials like lumber and oriented
strand board. Labor costs in the
construction sector are on the
rise, but tariff talks and market uncertainty in construction
has many builders considering
workforce reductions.
Gillespie said grants might
be available to fund a portion of
the project. Commission chairman Les McGhee recalled the
Welda Rural Fire Station project from 2019, in which requirements for the grant added an
additional $173,000 to its original $307,000 estimated construction cost, while a Kansas
Department of Commerce
grant offered $153,000 toward
the project. Commissioners at
the time opted to forego the
grant.
Commissioners
encouraged Gillespie to investigate a
design and estimates for a new
project for further discussion.

How far has education fallen? Consider:
Harvard University, today more a fount of

as a way to educate would-be ministers.
For generations, Ingle opines, education in America had a noble purpose.
It wasnt just about imparting knowledge
it was about forming character. Schools
worked hand in hand with families and
communities to instill timeless values:
respect for authority, love of country, personal responsibility, faith, and virtue.
These were the qualities that prepared
young men and women to become productive citizens and moral leaders. But
somewhere along the way, we abandoned
that mission.

Indeed. And the courts appear poised
to make sure that mission continues to be
forsaken.
You think a mere politician can fix this?
Or a teacher who isnt allowed to offer
students the only sure off-ramp to immorality?
Lawmakers can, and probably should,
continue to fight to get morality back in
public schools. But we have to assume it
wont work. It cant even be considered

A little gratitude goes a long way with your customers
In todays competitive marketplace, showing appreciation
to your customers isnt just
good mannersits good business. Companies that actively thank their patrons often
enjoy stronger customer loyalty, increased referrals, and
positive word-of-mouth that no
advertising budget can buy.
One of the most effective
ways to accomplish this is
through thoughtful customer
appreciation promotions and
engaging contests.
Here are some of the most
successful and creative ideas
businesses are using to show
customers they care:
1. Exclusive Appreciation
Events
Hosting a customer appreciation event is a classic and
effective way to strengthen
relationships. This could be a
casual open house, an after-
hours shopping event with
refreshments, or a special
appreciation dinner. For service-based businesses, consider
a workshop, seminar, or free
class that provides value to
your customers while showing
gratitude.
2. Loyalty Contests and
Giveaways
Everyone loves the chance to
win something. Contests not
only build excitement but also
drive engagement. Businesses
have found success with social
media giveaways, where customers can enter by liking,
sharing, or commenting on a
post. In-store contests, such as
drawing a winner from recent
purchasers, are equally effective for brick-and-mortar operations.
3. Thank-You Discounts and
Surprise Upgrades
Sending customers exclusive
discount codes or surprising them with free product
upgrades shows immediate
appreciation. For example, a
restaurant might surprise loyal
diners with a complimentary
dessert, while a retailer could
offer a just because 20% discount for returning customers.
4. Personalized Gifts and
Handwritten Notes
The personal touch goes a long
way. Sending small branded
gifts or handwritten thank-you
notes leaves a lasting impression. Thoughtful items like
coffee mugs, tote bags, or even
seasonal treats can delight customers and keep your business
top-of-mind.
5. Customer of the Month
Recognition
Spotlighting a customer each
month on your website or
social media channels not only
flatters the winner but creates
a sense of community. Include
a short story about their connection to your business and
perhaps a small prize or gift
card as a token of appreciation.
6.
Referral
Rewards
Programs
Customers who love your
business are often happy to
spread the wordespecially if theres something in it
for them. Offering rewards
like discounts, gift cards, or
entries into a contest for successful referrals turns satisfied
customers into enthusiastic
ambassadors.
7. Social Media Shoutouts
and Engagement Contests
Running a photo contest where
customers share images of
themselves using your product
or service is a fun, interactive
way to build goodwilland
user-generated content for your
brand. Winners can receive gift
cards, free products, or exclusive merchandise.
8. Anniversary or Birthday
Surprises
Recognizing customer milestones, such as the anniversary of their first purchase or
their birthday, shows that your
business values the relationship beyond just transactions.
Automated systems make it
easy to send a discount or small
gift at the right time.
9. Community Give-Back
Promotions
Many customers appreciate
businesses that support the
community. Running a promotion where a portion of sales
is donated to a local cause, or
inviting customers to nominate
charities for a donation contest, builds goodwill while reinforcing your companys values.
10. VIP Clubs and Early
Access Perks
Establishing a VIP program
with perks like early access to
sales, new products, or exclusive events makes loyal customers feel appreciated and
part of something special.
In the end, successful customer appreciation efforts
come down to sincerity and consistency. Businesses that make
their customers feel seen and
valued often find that appreciation is a two-way streetleading to stronger relationships,
more referrals, and long-term
success.
The businesses that succeed are those that treat their
customers like family, says
marketing consultant Dana
Roberts. A heartfelt thank
you, whether its a contest, an
event, or just a simple note, can
mean the difference between a
one-time buyer and a lifelong
supporter.
