Powdering the GOP
Sam
Investigators wont confirm,
but it looks like targets of recent
powder attacks all Republican
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
TOPEKA Did the mysterious white powder mailed along with cryptic messages
last week to Kansas legislators and elected officials as well as former President
Donald Trump and Supreme Court Justice
Clarence Thomas only target Republicans?
The FBIs not saying.
But so far from news reports, interviews and first-hand social media reports
from some recipients researched by The
Anderson County Review, all of them
have been members of the GOP. That
presupposition has led to conjecture
the incident was politically motivated or perhaps that Republicans
staged it themselves as a false
flag move against Democrats.
Cassie Nichols, media representative at Governor Laura
Kellys office, told the Review
last week neither the governor not Lt. Governor David
Toland had received the letters.
Dixon Land, public affairs officer
for the FBI in Kansas City, told the Review
last week the investigation was ongoing
and as such he had no other comment.
Asked if the targets of the letters todate
were all Republicans, neither the KBI nor
FBI spokesman would comment.
Federal law enforcement officers told
ABC News last week the powder letters were also sent to former President
Donald Trump and Supreme Court
Justice Clarence Thomas as well as other
high-profile individuals. Locally, legislators Fred Gardner, Rebecca Schmoe and
Carrie Barth all receceived the letters as
well.
They above all share something in
common: theyre Republicans. Molly
Baumgardner, another Republican representative from Louisburg, said the letter
she received included a message: Its
important not to choke on your ambition. Baumgardner told
KMBC in Kansas
City the
surged in the decade following the anthrax
letters mailed in the U.S. just after the 9/11
attacks, and the fake followups are frequently political in nature. A 2012 aritcle
on the Slate website recounts an interview
with an FBI agent who said disgruntled
taxpayers mail back white powder with
hate mail for the IRS each year at tax
time. The federal stimulus deal in 2009
generated mailings to congress, as did the
Obamacare health coverage debate in
2010.
The recent attacks came after a
particularly successful last session
of the Kansas Legislature for the
state GOP, who overrode nine
of Governor Laura Kellys
vetoes and forced controversial legislation

County sets hearing on
solar field restrictions
GARNETT Anderson
County Planning and
Zoning Director Tom
Young says hes received no
inquiries yet about industrial grade solar projects
taking a look at Anderson
County, but he hopes to
include a framework of
regulations on the projects
in the countys zoning plan
before those likely debates
roll around.
A public hearing is set
for July 17 at 7 p.m. at the
Anderson County Annex
Building to review an
amendment to the county
zoning plan which would
include those regulations.
Young said last week the
specifics of the regulations
werent yet ironed out but
that they would be completed in time for the public
hearing.
Nothing yet, but I want
to be ready, Young said
in regard to any projects
at present. Well take it

fairly comprehensive.
Opposition to industrial solar farms has grown
across the countrys rural
areas much like local
opposition to wind turbine
fields, although the more
expensive solar farms have
been slower to mature
among green energy offerings and slower to mass
similar federal income tax
credit incentives from federal bureaucracies.
The more expensive
solar installations are seen
as being a threat to more
rural areas than wind
farms, since wind energy
developers seek out only
areas with adequate wind
to drive the turbines. Just

We must obey God rather than men.
In Acts 5 we read how the
Sadducees had the apostles
arrested and put in jail for
teaching about Jesus. However
during the night an angel of the
Lord opened the doors of the
jail and brought them out. The
apostles returned to the temple
court and began teaching. The
apostles were taken back to the
Sanhedrin and reprimanded
for teaching about Jesus a second time. Peter then makes
it perfectly clear where the
allegiance of the apostles lies
when he says, We must obey
God rather than men. (Acts
5: 29) This is a bold statement
and puts the apostles in harms
way. Why would Peter make
such a statement? I believe
the apostles had grasped their
mission. During Jesus earthly ministry they had wavered
at times, sometimes more
involved than committed but
now there was no turning back.
Having seen Jesus alive and
having been filled with the
Holy Spirit they were totally
committed. So where does this
leave each of us today?
In a broad sense there are
only three options for our consideration. There are those
who know nothing about God
and dont care about God, then
there are those who are involved

Heatstroke Risk: 38 kids die in hot cars each year, on average
WICHITA – As hot summer
weather returns to Kansas with
temperatures in the 90s forecast for this weekend and the
coming week, AAA is warning
parents and caregivers of the
even higher, dangerous temperatures inside vehicles and
the deadly risk that can pose to
children.
The sobering statistics:
According to NoHeatStroke.
org, 948 children have died
nationwide due to Pediatric
Vehicular Heatstroke (PVH)
since 1998.
There were 33 PVH deaths
nationwide 2022, and 8 have
occurred so far this year.
Heatstroke is the leading
cause of non-crash, vehicle-related deaths for children under
the age of 14, with an average
of 38 fatalities nationwide per
year since 1998.
In Kansas, 14 children have
died in a hot vehicle since 1998,
the last occurring July 31, 2022
in Scranton, Kansas.
Kansas per capita pediatric vehicular heatstroke death
rate of 24 per 1 million, from
1998-2022, ranks 10th highest in
the United States. (Louisiana
at 39.5 had the highest PVH
fatality rate, while Oklahoma
was second highest at 36.5.)
We know that, historically,
one of the greatest contributing factors to children being
forgotten in cars is a change
in routine. With schools out
for summer, disruptions are
common in work routines and
childcare routines that many
have become accustomed to,
said Shawn Steward, AAA
Kansas spokesman. It is critical that parents and caregivers
be aware of the increased risk.
100% of heatstroke deaths of
children in cars are preventable.
Even on a day that may not
seem particularly hot, it can
get extremely hot inside a vehicle and deadly – in just a matter of minutes, AAA Kansas
Steward added. Temperatures
inside a closed vehicle can be
50 or more degrees higher than
the outside temperature, and
maximum temperatures can
exceed 180 degrees Fahrenheit.
In the first 30 minutes after a
vehicle is closed, 80% of total
heat increase occurs.
Reasons behind the tragedies
According to investigations
of pediatric vehicular heatstroke deaths, a few key circumstances account for most of
the tragedies:
53% of child hot car deaths
in vehicles were caused by
adults forgetting the children
(Nearly half were not dropped
off at childcare)
26% of victims gained
access and were playing in an
unattended vehicle.
20% of the fatalities, the
child was knowingly left in the
vehicle.
AAA Urges Drivers to:
Never leave a child unattended in a vehicle not even
for a minute.
If you see a child unattended in a hot vehicle, call 9-1-1.
Be sure that all occupants
leave the vehicle when unloading. Don't overlook sleeping
babies.
Always lock your car and
ensure children do not have
access to keys or remote entry
devices.
Teach children that vehicles are never to be used as a
play area.
Teach that if they can't get
out of the rear doors, to try the
front doors; and that failing to
honk the horn to get the attention of others.
If a child is missing, always
check the pool first (if there is
on), and then the car, including
the trunk.
Keep a stuffed animal in the
child car seat, and when the
child is put in the seat, place
the animal in the front with the
driver. Or place your purse,
briefcase or cell phone in the
back seat as a reminder that
you have your child in the car.
Make "look before you lock" a
routine whenever you get out
of the car.
Have a plan that your childcare provider will call you if
your child does not show up as
scheduled.

being religious and then those
who have committed their lives
to God. The critical measuring
device here is this. Who do you
obey? In the first group above
God is never a consideration, in
the second group a decision is
required every time this question who do you obey comes
up and the answer is based on
circumstances. People like to
think that obeying God in most
instances will suffice, however
the Bible does not support that.
The third group never wavers,
never considers partial compliance.
Believe it or not there is
more room for growth in the
fully committed group than the
other two because the more you
give God the more he will give
you in return. The greatest
part is when you are able to
answer I must obey God rather
than men you can know in your
heart that God will work things
out for your benefit and his
glory.

WASHINGTON – Agricultural
producers who have not yet
completed their crop acreage
reports after planting should
make an appointment with
their local U.S. Department
of Agriculture (USDA) office
before the applicable deadline,
which for many places and
crops is July 17. USDAs Farm
Service Agency (FSA) also
reminds producers with login
access to farmers.gov of several
features that can help expedite
acreage reporting, such as the
ability to view, print and label
maps.
Regardless of the size of
your operation or its location rural or urban filing
an accurate and timely crop
acreage report is an important step in receiving USDA
program benefits, including
safety net, conservation, and
disaster assistance support,
said FSA Administrator Zach
Ducheneaux. Once youre finished planting, please call your
FSA county office to make an
appointment to report your
acres. While youre there,
you can also check with your
local FSA staff to see if there
are any other program appli-
cations that can be completed
during the same office visit.
Additionally, if you have a
farmers.gov profile or if youd
like to create one, log in to prepare your maps to save time.
An acreage report documents the crops grown and
their intended uses. Filing an
accurate and timely acreage
report for all crops and land
uses, including failed acreage
and prevented planted acreage,
is necessary to participate in
many USDA programs. July 17
is a major deadline for most
crops, but acreage reporting
deadlines vary by county and
by crop.
Producers should also report
crop acreage they intended to
plant but were unable to plant
because of a natural disaster.
Prevented planting acreage
must be reported on form CCC576, Notice of Loss, no later than
15 calendar days after the final
planting date. Final planting
dates are established by FSA
and USDAs Risk Management
Agency (RMA) and vary by
crop, planting period and county.
How to File a Report
Producers can contact their
FSA county office for acreage
reporting deadlines that are
specific to their county.
To file a crop acreage report,
producers need to provide:
Crop and crop type or variety;
Intended use of the crop;
Number of acres of the crop;
Map with approximate
boundaries for the crop;
Planting date(s);
Planting pattern, when
applicable;
Producer shares;
Irrigation practice(s);
Acreage prevented from
planting, when applicable;
Other information as
required.
Acreage Reporting Exceptions
The following exceptions
apply to acreage reporting
dates:
If the crop has not been
planted by the acreage reporting date, then the acreage must
be reported no later than 15
calendar days after planting is
completed.
If a producer acquires additional acreage after the acreage
reporting date, then the acreage must be reported no later
than 30 calendar days after pur-
chase or acquiring the lease.
Appropriate documentation
must be provided to the county
office.
Noninsured Crop Disaster
Assistance Program (NAP) policy holders should note that
the acreage reporting date for
NAP-covered crops is the earlier of the dates listed above or 15
calendar days before grazing or
harvesting of the crop begins.
Farmers.gov Portal
Producers can access their
FSA farm records, maps and
common land units through the
farmers.gov portal. Through a
new mapping feature, producers can import and view other
shapefiles, such as precision
agriculture planting boundaries. This allows producers to
view, save, print and label their
own maps for acreage reporting purposes. To access mapping features and other helpful
on-line tools, producers need
level 2 eAuth access linked to
their Business Partner customer record. Visit farmers.gov/
account to learn how to create
a farmers.gov account.

OPINION
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, June 27, 2023
Powder and shame: Modern Dems revealed
If the recent Kansas powder letter troll
who coughed up over $600 to send letters with
baking soda and talcum powder to Kansas
Republican legislators turns out to be anything
other than a classic KU liberal pinhead with
pink hair, pudgy biscuit-dough fingers and
a nose piercing, Ill personally French braid
liberal Scott County Record publisher Rod
Haxtons mullet free of charge.
Of course the FBI will never find the he/her/
it responsible, because theyre too busy burying Hunter Biden investigation documents and
combing New York, D.C. and Florida finance
records to see if Donald Trump has any overdue library books. It took decades for them to
find the Unabomber, and that wouldnt have
happened had his brother not ratted him out.
Thats one point of redemption for Scott
Citys Pravda On The Plains what its local
publisher lacks in grooming standards and
judgment he makes up for in attribution. His
leftist missives may not carry much weight
among his county with its 67 percent support
for the Kansas amendment against killing
babies and its massive majority for Trump in
two elections, but at least he signs his work.
Contrast that to the impotent, limp-wristed cowardice of mailing more than 100 fake
anthrax letters to Kansas Republicans (and
though neither the KBI nor FBI will cop to
all the recipients being GOP, no others but
Republicans have reported getting one) and
the lack of character innate among radical
leftists shines like drag queen glitter.
Come to think of it, has anyone heard
a denunciation of the act yet from Kansas
Governor Laura Kelly?
Me either.
Therein lies the chasm that separates
traditional Democrats from those who have
commandeered the former party of Roosevelt
and Truman. In backlash to Donald Trump
they seated the most radical left president and
administration in American history. The gluttony of entitlement for the endless column of
victim groups they embrace caused fissures in
the modern Democrat Party through which all
the character and dignity leaked out.
Like Trump himself, the childish petulance
of this perpetual grouping of poor me rules
them, though they lack Trumps savant-like
ability to make real decisions with insight and
common sense. Last week Democrats in the
House threw one of their infamous hissy fits at
the censure vote on California congressman
Adam Schiff, who spent three years as the
REVIEW COMMENTARY
DANE HICKS, Publisher
chairman of the House Intelligence Committee
swearing to unicorn-like evidence he claimed to
have that would bag Trump for Russian collusion. Schiff did what few thought could be done
he set a new bar for lying even for Washington,
D.C. Schiff did for lying what Smuckers did for
jelly.
Yet the facts, much less the idea of accountability, was lost on Democrats in the House chamber,
whose response was rather to chant shame,
shame, shame in denial of Schiffs now proven
perjury. Its the continual playbook of the decrepit soul when caught in a lie, deny, deny, deny.
Denials the point at the core of the transgender debate as well, whose fact-challenged liturgy
proclaims a person can be whatever gender he/
she wants to be based on feelings instead of
evidence. One wonders if its yet dawned on the
hoards of vagina hat wearing Womens Marchers
from 2017 that the tantrum they threw at Trumps
election would eventually result in an assault on
their genders relevance by the very liberals they
supported, with their identity, their personal privacy and their athletic accomplishments stolen
by men encouraged by Democrats to masquerade
as women.
Among them, the shameful vitriol of the perpetually entitled festers ad nauseam. When KCK
Democrat Representative Marvin Robinson
broke with liberals in the Kansas House to vote
with Republicans to enact a ban on men in womens sports, one of his Democrat colleagues told
him to go die. So, probably no Christmas card
this year, either.
Once upon a time impassioned debate knew its
limits. For leftists pulling the strings of todays
Democrat Party, thats now a fractured fairy tale.

Deaths from weather have plummeted over the century
Extreme heat kills more people in the
United States than any other weather hazard, is the first claim in this Washington Post
piece warning about the deadly summer heat
and it is almost certainly false.
First off, the only reason extreme temperature kills more people than other weather
hazards is that deaths from weather have
plummeted over the century, even as doomsday climate warnings about heat, hurricanes,
tornados, floods, and droughts have spiked.
Extreme weather accounts for only about 0.1
death for every 100,000 people in the United
States each year.
The Post should be celebrating the fact that
humans have never been less threatened by
the climate.
The Post warns that 30 million people in
the U.S. may be exposed to dangerous heat
today. Thats a lot of people, even considering nearly all of them live in the southernmost
spots in the country and its the middle of the
summer. The Post counts anyone exposed to
heat over 90 degrees as being in some level of
danger. Fortunately, most Americans enjoy
the luxury and health benefits of air-conditioning, one of the great innovations of the
past century.
Nowhere in the piece, however, do the
authors tell us exactly how many Americans
have perished from the oppressive heat.
Anyway, its around 700 people a year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
DAVID HARSANYI, THE FEDERALIST
Prevention if you liberally count heat as
both the underlying and/or contributing
causes. It is about 400 people when heat is the
underlying cause. And thats terrible. But,
also, its around 3,600 fewer people than those
who drown every year.
Though there has been an uptick in recent
years as Bjorn Lomborg has pointed out,
this is almost surely due to an aging population that is more susceptible to heat both
numbers are still near-historic lows.
And most of those deaths, despite the
Posts claim, are from the cold, which is far
more lethal. I come to this information via
a Washington Post piece that ran this very
winter, which noted that for every death
linked to heat, nine are tied to cold. That
piece relied on a peer-reviewed Lancet study.
Another peer-reviewed study in The BMJ
found that cold weather is associated with
nearly 20 times more deaths than hot weather. Other studies have come to the same
conclusion.
So where did the Post get the idea that
heat was the leading cause of weather deaths?
After following a few hyperlinks, I land on
a National Weather Service chart from 2019
that lists heat as the leading cause of extreme
weather deaths. Where it gets these numbers
is a mystery to me. And though Im sure they
arent concocted, they certainly seem to be an
outlier.
Not to worry. Even here we find promising
news. Though the National Weather Service
says the leading cause of weather deaths is
heat, it also found that the average was 103
deaths per year over the preceding decade.
Thats hundreds of fewer deaths per year than
the CDC reports.

Dear L.A. Dodgers: There should be no woke in baseball
Its not unusual for prayer to play a role in
sports.
Spahn, Sain, and pray for rain! was the
famous refrain of Boston Braves fans in 1948,
when they wanted their exceptional pitchers
Warren Spahn and Johnny Sain to start as
many games as possible.
A couple of years ago, the team chaplain
of the Loyola Chicago mens basketball team,
Sister Jean, prayed before a game against
Illinois in the NCAA Tournament, As we
play the Fighting Illini, we ask for special help
to overcome this team and get a great win.
(Final score: Loyola Chicago 71, Illinois 58).
In the long history of sports, though, it
seems unlikely that anyone has ever felt
compelled to pray over the spiritual hurt
caused by a team — until now. Los Angeles
Archbishop Jose H. Gomez dedicated a service to praying for healing due to the harm
caused by the Los Angeles Dodgers.
And hes not referring to the teams disappointing exit from the playoffs last year at
the hands of the San Diego Padres or its relatively soft 38-30 start this year. No, rather its
decision to honor a group that intentionally
denigrates and profanes the Christian faith.
Hes speaking of the Sisters of Perpetual
Indulgence, a group of drag queens who dress
up as Roman Catholic nuns and mock their
faith. In the most embarrassing to-and-fro
since Yankee owner George Steinbrenner
fired and rehired manager Billy Martin multiple times, the Dodgers announced that theyd
honor the Sisters on the teams LGBTQ+
Pride Night, then backed off when people
of faith were offended, then decided to honor
them after all in response to LGBTQ backlash
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
RICH LOWRY, King Features Syndicate
to the backlash.
This shameful cowardice comes courtesy of
one of baseballs most storied franchises, one
that used to hold Nuns Day at the stadium.
Its a symptom of the sheer unavoidability
of woke cultural politics that theyve come
to baseball, once the most mainstream and
arguably still the most traditional of major
sports league.
The Toronto Blue Jays just cut one of their
relief pitchers, Anthony Bass, for not getting
with the LGBTQ program. He thus became
the first player in major league history to be
DFAed for associating himself with traditional Biblical morality.
On May 29, a day that will live in Blue Jays
infamy, right up there with the collapse in the
1985 ALCS, Bass shared a video from Biblethemed Instagram page supporting the boycotts of Bud Light and Target. In response to
the resulting furor, he apologized and promised to do better, but that wasnt close to being
enough.
The last straw came when he tried to
explain himself again about two weeks into
the controversy. He said, I stand by my
personal beliefs, adding — very naively, as it
turns out — and everyone is entitled to their
personal beliefs, right?
The demand of Bass wasnt that he say
bland and nice things but that he repudiate
part of his belief system as a Christian.
Fans were booing him, and sports journalists were out for blood. The Athletic huffed,
It was clear that Bass still did not grasp how
harmful his actions and words were.
Preposterously, as part of his forced rehabilitation, Bass was scheduled to catch the
ceremonial first pitch to open up the teams
Pride Weekend, which included a drag queen
performing the national anthem.
Instead, he got fired. No one can accuse the
Blue Jays of not fully embracing the spirit of
pride ideology, including the illiberalism.
Back in the early 1950s, before the Dodgers
had moved from Brooklyn, the teams churchgoing first baseman Gil Hodges entered into a
terrible slump. Instead of turning on him, the
fans encouraged him. Father Redmond of St.
Francis Church famously said one day: Its
too hot for a sermon today. Go home, keep
the commandments, and say a prayer for Gil
Hodges.
Hodges eventually found his groove, making for a nice piece of Dodgers lore. These
days, hed presumably have to watch what he
said.

Public support made
BAK a huge success
The Friends of the Prairie Spirit Rail Trail
want to extend a huge thank you to all of the
businesses, organizations and individuals who
decorated a bicycle for National Trails Day &
Biking Across Kansas.
The City of Garnett requested that our organization assist with decorating the city for
Biking Across Kansas and it could not have
been accomplished without the assistance of
so many. The creativity, the participation and
the show of community support has been overwhelming and the decorated bicycles helped
showcase Garnett when Biking Across Kansas
came through town.
A big Thanks also to the Growing Garnett
group on Facebook which showed so many of
the decorated bicycles. The comments from the
community and on Facebook have been very
positive and some say it makes the town look
more attractive and interesting. The bikers on
Biking Across Kansas felt warmly welcomed to
Garnett by the decorated bicycles throughout
the city. We also want to extend our thanks to
the lady in Greeley who made 10 dozen cookies
for the SAG stop in Colony.
Many are requesting that the decorated
bicycles stay up all summer. Our organization
supports that idea and are hoping that the businesses & individuals who have decorated bicycles will keep them up at least through August.
Thanks again to the residents of Garnett for
assisting with this awesome project.

Greg Akers is one of thirty participants of the Kansas Youth Conservation
Corps. The thirty students along with
six adult work leaders are working
on conservation projects at Webster,
Cedar Bluff, and Kirwin Reservoirs.
Local farmers are being asked to
report any critical farm fuel shortages
to the Agricultural Stabilization and
Conservation Service. Leo Wiederholt,
executive director of the ASCS office,
said that in addition to using fuel-conserving methods in their farming operations, farmers have also been asked to
report critical fuel shortages to ASCS
for assistance in solving the problem.
One of the main conversations at the
most recent city commission meeting
was the citys recent purchase of fuel
oil. City Manager Don Stone attended a special meeting in McPherson on
Tuesday in regard to the fuel oil purchase and shortages that many municipalities are facing. Representatives of
the 13 other cities involved were present
as were Louis Stroup of KMUY and Bob
Kent of Rapid Transit in Salina. Final
terms of the agreement for storage were:
one-fourth cent per gallon flat charge
on a one-time basis on input and oneeighth cent per gallon storage charge.
This would mean a flat charge of $125 to
Garnett for the 50,000 gallons purchased
from Lauber Oil Company of Houston.

Where to house new busses and
equipment could prove to be a difficult situation as USD 365 was given
notice that the building owned by Gene
Hermreck, which had previously been
the facility for the bus line, would need
to be vacated by July 1 as it was sold
to L and R Oil Company, Denver, CO.
Until a new facility can be built for the
buses and equipment, Wayne French,
manager of the R.W. Harmon and Sons
bus line, said that they will be stored
at a building located near Brummel
Fertilizer on S. Oak Street and buses
will be serviced at that location. A

Although the board voted not to extend
an employment contract to Namoni at
this time, the option is still available
to the board since Namoni now has
his permanent green or immigration
card in order to practice medicine in the
Garnett community. The hospital paid
out about $4,000 to help Namoni acquire
the immigration card. Effective June
30, the Central Heights School District
Administrative team will be losing one
of its districts pillars, as Superintendent
of Schools Leo Lairds retirement starts.
Laird, 59, has been with the district ever
since it was formed during the unification battles in the mid 1960s. However,
he hasnt always been superintendent.
Laird has served as superintendent for
USD 288 for 19 years starting in 1974.
Laird was a 1959 graduate of Emporia
State University and was hired by Lane
High School as a shop and math teacher. In 1965, the unification of school
districts started and Lane was closed.
Laird was then hired as high school
principal for Richmond High School
until further unification moved him to
Central Heights. Anderson Countys
landfill will not be accepting any more
household wastes as of October 1993,
as the Anderson County Commission

commission is following in the footsteps
of other area counties in closing the
landfill in the face of new federal landfill
regulations, which would make it too
cost prohibitive for the county to continue collecting trash at the landfill.

A pregnant prisoner was transferred
from Anderson County Jail to a female
holding facility in Erie on Thursday
following her arrest. The 37 year-old
woman was unable to make a $1,500
bond set after her first court appear-
ance earlier this week, meaning the
jail was faced with the problem of what
to do with a prisoner with special circumstances and a 16-bed jail that was
already near capacity. The problem of
special prisoners was addressed repeatedly by the sheriff during an informational campaign for the jail. Sheriff
Darin Dalsing reiterated that female
and juvenile prisoners pose special
problems for the 1929 vintage jail, since
its facilities are not capable of housing prisoners who have special medical
or educational needs. More protective
orders were filed in Anderson County
District Court last week in relation to a
man accused of stealing $30,000 in ATM
funds from a Garnett bank.

The Anderson County Attorney
Brandon Jones said he does not plan
to file criminal charges against the person who paid for anonymous election
postcards in a contentions spring vote
regarding a new proposed hospital.
Jones indicated that the results of the
investigation into illegal campaign postcards and robo-calls were presented
to county commissioners on June 24.
Jones said that he was able to track
down the company that printed the postcards. The Shawnee-based company
was contracted for the job by a smaller printing operation, and the smaller
printer refused to provide the name of
the person who paid for the postcards,
but through a search warrant, Jones
was able to obtain the identity of that
person. A missing Garnett couple was
found 900 miles from home in Michigan.
Vernon and Goldie Hunt left to visit
Goldies sister in Dwight, Illinois, but
somehow got lost, turned around, and
kept going north before stopping to
ask for directions in Mio, Michigan.
Local Garnett residents who like to run
errands over their lunch hour soon will
have to make a few adjustments as the
post office will close the retail front
over the lunch hour in a bid to reduce
costs during a financial crisis. The
new hours will be 9 A.M. to noon, and 1
P.M. to 4 P.M. Monday through Friday.
Saturday hours will remain the same.
Nearly all other area post offices have
reduced retail hours by two or more
hours per day. Those changes were
made to better reflect decreased mail
volumes and revenues at the offices,
while still keeping a post office in the
town according to Richard Watkins,
spokesman for the Mid-America district
of the Postal Service.

Transition from spring to summer signaled hay season Students receive scholarships from
Franklin County Friends of K-State,
KANSAS COMMENTARY
K-State Alumni Association
The transition from late spring to
early summer was always my favorite
growing up. The long, hot days meant
different things over the course of
my childhood, first afternoons at the
pool, then evenings at ballfields and,
eventually, days in a hayfield working
with my grandparents.
Hay season had a certain rhythm
on the ranch. We encountered different obstacles each year, and every day
was different. But there were similarities, too. For all the differences, the
routines stayed largely the same.
It started with swapping out the
sections on the mowers sickle bar.
Each of the serrated triangles was
secured with two bolts. The 14-foot bar
held 56 sections and changing them
was the easiest part of the job. Sliding
the bar back into place between guard
sections required a lot of hammering
along with a few choice words.
The mower was called a hydroswing because of the hydraulics used to
swing it back and forth behind the
tractor. After the cutting bar sliced
off the prairie a few inches above the
ground, a reel shuttled the grass to the
center where it was promptly ejected
from a chute through the back of the
machine in a windrow.
Mowing hay with the contraption
was fairly easy when everything was
in working order. Between the sickle
sections, hydraulic pumps and other
moving parts there were plenty of
things that could go wrong. An O-ring
on one of the pumps regularly wore
out and had to be replaced. Going too
fast over thick grass could clog the
chute, requiring the operator to have
to dig it out.
By far the most common issue was
curing process, but a heavy rain
would also require the extra step of
raking the windrow to speed the drying process and preserve the quality
of the hay.
Each morning started the same.
Wed refuel the tractors and inspect
the hydroswing and baler, being
sure to locate even the hard to reach
grease fittings while saying unkind
