Saint Lukes tries for merger with St. Louis firm
Analysts say team-ups are
financial initiatives; no word
on impact to local hospital
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
ST. LOUIS, Mo. If an intended merger announced last week goes through,
the healthcare organization that
manages Anderson County Hospital
will be getting bigger its resources,
management and connections extending into the St. Louis metro area and
beyond.
Saint Lukes Health System officials on Wednesday announced a letter of intent to merge with St. Louis,
Mo.-based Barnes Jewish Christian
(BJC) in a deal that would add BJCs
14 eastern and southeastern Missouri
hospital operations to Saints Lukes
14 facilities in the Kansas City,
Missouri and Kansas region.
With approximately $10 billion in
revenue, the organizations are coming
together to advance their vision
of becoming the premier Midwest
destination
for patient
care, clinical research
and medical
education
and
the
regions most exceptional place to
work and practice medicine, said a
press release from Saint Lukes. The
health systems, which operate the top
three hospitals in Missouri according
to U.S. News & World Report, serve
distinct
geographic markets.
Saint Lukes operates Anderson
Countys county-owned hospital on
a 10-year lease agreement, a several
decade relationship the most recent
of which began when the newly-constructed Garnett facility opened in
2015. It negotiated a
similar lease agreement with Allen
County Regional
Medical Center in
2020 and manages both hospitals
under one adminstrator. Neither joint
administrator Jeremy Armstrong nor
other Saint Lukes officials responded
to messages for additional comment
on the merger on Friday.
Though its not immediately known
what impact the merger will have
on Anderson County Hospital, the
move is part of a general game plan
among mid-sized healthcare organizations that bigger is better, according to industry analysts at Fierce
Healthcare. While engaged as a means
of cutting costs, combining resources
and expanding market
share
just
like in other
industries,
an
April
story posted
at Fireces website said such mergers
and health system consolidation have
led to increased scrutiny from regulators and lawmakers, who have worried that mergers can harm competition. The Fierce article said to date,
however, efforts to block announced
deals have been limited to situations
where the parties are operating in the
same geographic markets.
Fierce said larger, cross-market
deals like BJC and Saint Lukes have
become more common in the past
year, potentially due to the opportunity to distribute
operational risks
with limited regulatory scrutiny,
analysts
have
noted. Multiple
health
policy
researchers have warned that these
deals are relatively understudied and,
according to some prior analyses,
very rarely translate to the quality
and consumer cost savings often toutSEE MERGER ON PAGE 7

Kansas Corporation Commission votes 2-1 against landowners opposing power line
BY PATRICK RICHARDSON
THE SENTINEL
TOPEKA In a 2-1 vote earlier this week, the Kansas
Corporation
Commission
(KCC) which regulates
public utilities in the state of
Kansas approved a Siting
Application for a 94-mile electric transmission project that
will reroute power from the
Wolf Creek nuclear power plant
Anderson and other counties to
Missouri and beyond.
Commissioners Andrew J.
French and Susan K. Duffy
voted to approve the project
over the objections of landowners along the five-county route
and rejected an alternative
route that would have allowed
for much of the line to be placed
on existing poles.
Duffy and French, both
appointed by Governor Laura
Kelly, conceded that 25 miles
of the project which is
being built by NextEra Energy
Transmission
Southwest
(NEET Southwest) could
have been co-located or dou-
ble-circuited on poles already
along the route owned by
Evergy, which is the largest
electric provider in the state.
In selecting the initial
preferred route for the project, NEET Southwest sought
to reduce impacts to land use
by paralleling or co-locating
with existing transmission
lines, the decision reads. As
a result, NEET Southwest proposed locating approximately
25 miles of the project parallel
to Evergys Marmaton transmission line.
While Evergy suggested the
Marmaton line was nearing the
end of its useful life, that does
not mean the existing poles
couldnt continue to be of use,
and KCC Staff suggested double-circuiting as a good option.
Duffy and French, however,
rejected that option.
Double-circuiting is not
uncommon, they wrote.

K-State entomologist advises farmers to be on lookout for armyworms
MANHATTAN,
Kan.
Depending on the time of year,
army cutworms and armyworms can be a nemesis to
farmers.
But in late spring, theyd
much rather be dealing with
the army cutworm.
In the last week or two,
the army cutworm is becoming
an adult moth, said Kansas
State University entomologist
Jeff Whitworth. By Memorial
Day weekend, those moths get
together and head to the Rocky
Mountains for the summer.
Up to this point, Whitworth
says, theyre really just more
of a nuisance. The moths dont
hurt (farmers crops) right
now. Theyre a nuisance, and
theyre very quick. Theyll
hide in your window sill or
behind doors and fly through
the house.
The army cutworm is more
problematic when it lays its
eggs in the fall on anything
green, which is usually wheat
or alfalfa that time of year.
Once the eggs hatch, the larvae
feeds on the plants through the
winter, hoping to survive and
become meddlesome adults by
spring.
Armyworms, on the other
hand, cant survive through the
winter, and thus will lay their
eggs on just about anything
green, but prefer such grasses
as wheat, brome, lawns, corn,
sorghum and others. That
leaves those plants particularly susceptible to feeding larvae.
I have probably received
more calls or pictures of armyworms this early in the season
than I have for the last 10 years
combined, Whitworth said.
They prefer grasses, and that
can be a real problem right
now because weve had problems with our pastures the last
2-3 years. They have been laying their eggs and I suspect

that those eggs will be hatching
in the next couple weeks.
Whitworth said farmers
should be scouting their fields
for young larvae in wheat,
early planted corn, sorghum
or any other crop they may
have in the field right now. If
they suspect an infestation, he
suggests contacting the local
extension agent to help in identification and treatment.
Alfalfa weevils
Whitworth is also keeping
watch for weevils showing up
in farmers alfalfa fields.
They are the number one
pest in alfalfa year after year,
Whitworth said of the approximately quarter-inch-long adult
beetle. Generally speaking,
you have to spray for them
every year, otherwise youre
donating a portion of your first
cutting to the alfalfa weevils.
He said many growers may
have sprayed once or twice
already.
The questions Im getting,
he said, is should I spray a
third time? Generally the treatment threshold for alfalfa weevils is 30-50%, and what that
means is that if you have one
of every two or three stems
infested, you probably should
treat again.
Whitworth said reports of
alfalfa weevils hatching in
Kansas fields were coming
in by early April. I recom-
mend that if you are within
7-10 days of swathing or cutting
the field, dont spray it. If we
get temperatures up around 85
to 90 degrees Fahrenheit, the
adults should take off and not
come back until fall, and even
if theyre there, they wont be
doing much damage.
In addition to local exten-
sion agents, farmers can
contact Whitworth by phone
(785-565-2371) or email (jwhitwor@ksu.edu) with questions
regarding crop pests.

In Genesis 3:15 we see the
first promise of a redeemer.
The text reads, And I (God)
will put enmity between you
(Satan) and the woman and
between your offspring and
hers; he (Jesus) will crush your
head and you will strike his
heel.
In Job 9:32-35, Job makes the
following statement concerning
God. He is not a man like me
that I might answer him, that
we might confront each other
in court. If there were someone
to attribute between us, to lay
his hand upon us both someone
to remove Gods rod from me.
So that his terror would frighten me no more. Then I would
speak up without fear of him,
but as it now stands with me I
cannot.
Who is the mediator that Job
speaks about? In 1st Timothy
2;5-6 we read. For there is one
God, and one mediator between
God and men the man Christ
Jesus who gave himself as a
ransom for all men–the testimony given in its proper time.
In the Old Testament the
prophets heralded the coming
Messiah. In Isaiah 7:14 we
read, Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The
virgin will be with child and
will give birth to a Son, and will
call him Immanuel. In Isaiah
53 we read of the crucifixion

BY DAVID BILDERBACK
of Christ. But he was pierced
for our transgressions, he was
crushed for our inequities; the
punishment that brought us
peace was upon him, and by his
wounds we are healed.
This brings me to some questions. What about our timing?
Where does Jesus fit into our
lives? Some might say, Ill get
right with God some day or
just as soon as I can get my
life straightened out. It is not
our job to clean our lives up.
God has raised up some pretty amazing people who have
just let God clean their life up.
Jesus sees all of us as being
equal. All have sinned and
fall short of the glory of God .
(Romans 3:23)
John 10 :10 summarizes this
up for us when Jesus says. I
have come that they may have
life, and have it more abundantly. The offer is yours to
accept or reject. Take the abundant life with Jesus.

Musk, Daily Wire heroes in free speech battle
No one knows how many Kansans tuned in
to the Twitter drama over the weekend with
the presentation of the Daily Wire documentary What Is A Woman and its exploration of
transexual culture. But what is known is that
the 170 million showings of the film almost
didnt happen between Thursday and Sunday
and they certainly wouldnt have without the
presence new champions of free speech.
Because former Leftist rule makers at
Twitter former because after their efforts
to quash the film on the platform, new Twitter
head cheese Elon Musk had them listening to
harrowing tales about Don Lemons cufflink
collection as they stood behind him in the
unemployment line did their very best to
make sure access to the Matt Walsh documentary was seen by as few people as possible.
If you were too busy to notice last weekend,
the documentary which debunks trans culture and the grotesque medical criminality of
the Frankenstein-like chemical and physical
mutilation of sex organs and sex hormones
in people who are gender dysphoric was set
for launch on Twitter after a deal between the
Daily Wire and Musk. But Musk was out of
the country when the Thursday launch rolled
around, at which time two lower-level department heads at Twitter followed the platforms
old Stalinistic playbook about restricting conservative content and ordered DW to edit the
film to their liking. Admirably and following the established attitude of the conservative news service, Daily Wire told the Twitter
twerps to go urinate up a rope.
When Musk got word of the kerfuffle, he
ordered his troops to lower their guns and
make good on the original deal. Word has it
at least two Twitter underlings got the boot.
Musk, who himself has an adult trans daughter as well as an apparent commitment to free
speech, tweeted out the link to the documentary himself from his page followed by 140 million people saying it was a film every parent
should watch.
Incidentally, as of Monday morning What
Is A Woman was still being offered on the
Twitter platform free of charge and you can
access the film at the Reviews Facebook page.
Daily Wire is an inexpensive but paid subscription service, with some free content, available
at www.dailywire.com. Until it became free
for a limited time on Thursday, What Is A
REVIEW COMMENTARY
DANE HICKS, Publisher
Woman was behind the paywall.
Its no news flash that Leftists who hold the
reins on the Biden Administration, the mainstream media and most of corporate culture
would do their best to deny your right to free
speech and your access to ideas that oppose
their own. With their control of journalists and
social media, theyve been responding with shrill,
panicked malice ever since Donald Trump and
the Covid Culture Opposition proved how devastating alternative thought can be to the ruling orthodoxy. Think masks and statewide shutdowns in Kansas and other states. Think closing
of schools and nursing homes. Think Russian
Collusion. Think Global Cooling and now Global
Warming. Think Black Lives Matter terrorism.
Leftist powers in western culture have come out
guns blazing in recent years when conservatives
questioned the foundations of their societal reign,
only to eventually be proven wrong by cold, hard
facts which their lapdogs in the media continue to
conveniently ignore.
What is striking instead in the What Is A
Woman case is the ferocious demand among
so many people for a legitimate exploration
warts and all of the transexual movement and
its attempt to gain parity and legitimacy among
the LGBTQ faction, and lay its claim to part of
queers expanding influence on the culture. When
drag artists insist on strutting their stuff in
front of kids in order to make children accepting
of the sexualized bizarre, the trans mission is
revealed pretty clearly.
But theyll have to figure out a way to step over
the likes of Elon Musk, The Daily Wire and 140
million new viewers now asking questions. ###

Watch out.
The Biden administration is still trying to
dodge the blame for raising oil and fuel prices
and to pretend it didnt cause the inflation that
threatens to put us all in the poorhouse.
Lets not let him get away with this.

Then came the pandemic. Though things
were getting better, the president pushed not
one, but two $3 trillion relief packages, both
hung like Christmas trees with liberal-backed
welfare and social spending.
GUEST COMMENTARY
STEVE HAYNES, Haynes Publishing Co.
Even the so-called infrastructure bill
creaked with the weight of woke spending,
despite heavy cuts by Congress. And by the
time any real infrastructure gets built roads,
rail improvements, equipment for Amtrak,
airports and such the pandemic will be forgotten.
But all that spending, all that borrowed
money floating around, its no wonder we
have the worst inflation since the 1980s. What
did they think was going to happen?
Plus, government payments were so high,
nobody wants to work. Is that any wonder
when people were getting more not to work
with all the extra unemployment benefits and
tax credits Congress laid on?
With the delayed end of the Covid emergency, the last of those programs will go
away now, however. Maybe a few of those
lost workers will now find their way back
into the economy.
Plus, even with trillions for infrastructure, we havent seen the kind of quick,
effective local spending and hiring that the
programs of the Great Depression, including
the Works Progress Administration, or WPA,
managed. Not only did those programs put
people to work, they give us many of the public parks we use today, city, county, state and
federal, including Sappa Park in Oberlin, state
lakes and across the nation, and mundane
things like new county shops.
Todays jobs programs are done by city,
state, county and federal agencies and takes
years to mount. By the time they produce jobs,
the emergency is over.
So if you see the president shed a tear for
the unemployed, its a cynical thing.
Just remember who drove up fuel prices in
the first place, and who spent us into uncontrolled inflation.
It was good ol Joe.

Scared of DeSantis: The NAACPs libelous Florida lie
The NAACP is on high alert — a Republican
governor, with an unabashedly conservative
agenda and some chance of winning, is running for president.
It has duly sprung into action with a travel
advisory warning people what theyre getting
into if they take the risk of visiting Floridas
sunny beaches or world-class attractions.
Florida is openly hostile toward African
Americans, people of color and LGBTQ+ individuals, the statement says. Before traveling to Florida, please understand that the
state of Florida devalues and marginalizes the
contributions of, and the challenges faced by
African Americans and other communities of
color.
This is a shameful lie even by the standards
of the NAACP.
The political play is obvious — use travel advisory to get attention and credibility that a mere harsh statement about Gov.
Ron DeSantis wouldnt garner, and hope the
resulting media coverage helps drive negative
associations with the state.
We are used to taking travel advisories
seriously, since the State Department often
issues them and for non-frivolous reasons.
When it says we shouldnt travel to Burma
due to civil unrest and armed conflict and
urges increased caution due to wrongful
detentions and areas with land mines and
unexploded ordnance, most of us pay attention.
The NAACP wants people to think of
Florida as a hellhole where the peril isnt
physical but ideological –DeSantis is pursuing an agenda that, ipso facto, is hostile to
certain minority groups.
The group makes it clear that it is thinking
of the governors fight against diversity, equi-

ty, and inclusion programs, critical race theory, and gender ideology in the schools, as well
as his rejection of an Advanced Placement
African American studies course.
This is a classic instance of progressive
goalpost shifting. DEI is a relatively recent
fad, but now if someone wants to keep it out
of education, its the equivalent of George
Wallace standing at the schoolhouse door.
Its the same thing with gender ideology — no
one thought that LGBTQ rights depended on
teaching young children about gender fluidity
until the day before yesterday.
As for the fight over the African American
studies course, its false to suggest the states
stance against overly politicized material in
the course makes it opposed to the teaching of
African American history as such.
In fact, the states curriculum requires the
teaching of key aspects of African American
history, and these provisions have been made
more robust under DeSantis.
Again, none of this has anything to do
with travel — if someone wants to read Ibram
X. Kendi while standing in line at Universal
Studios or brush up on their DEI training on
an airboat in the Everglades, theres nothing
stopping them.
Even if you come down in a different place
than DeSantis on these various controversies,
to suggest that his positions constitute some
kind of malice toward African Americans or
other groups is a stupid libel.
Florida is a vibrant, diverse state, where
people from all backgrounds stand to benefit from good government. The state has
an unemployment rate under 3%, and the
earnings of African Americans have been
increasing smartly. The schools are excellent
and minority test scores are strong. Crime is
at a half-century low.
Of course, if Florida were really a hotbed
of antagonism toward minorities, Americans
would have noticed and wouldnt be moving there en masse. The state has gained
some 700,000 people since the 2020 census. The
U-Hauls are coming because Florida has a
well-earned reputation as an open place full of
opportunity.
If the NAACP were truly concerned about
the welfare of African Americans instead of
trying to score points against a Republican
potentially on the rise in national politics, it
would issue travel advisories about going to
Chicago or Baltimore, poorly governed cities
where it is affirmatively dangerous for young
Black men to live.
Such places could learn from Florida. If
the NAACP were thinking clearly and didnt
have an agenda, it wouldnt be denouncing the
state but considering moving its headquarters
there.

I dont know about anybody else, this is just my
opinion, but I think the cemetery and the North
Lake looks like (deleted). We aint had rain forever and its still tall. Just me. A resident.
To the person who had the message in there
about I dont believe Jesus was White, well,
what color are Jews? Because Jesus was a Jew.
I had the pleasure to meet a lot of people after I
fell and broke my hip. Salute to the nurses and
salute to the doctors here at Anderson County
Hospital and up at South St. Lukes.
Is the kiosk at the veterans memorial at the
courthouse, the one we paid so much tax money
for, ever going to be fixed so that it works?
Would have been a nice time to have it working
at the car show over the weekend.
I had walked up town in Colony to the post
office on Saturday. I use a cane and on the way
back I turned to see a long truck and trailer and
dropped my cane. The truck stopped and a very
kind gentleman ran to pick up my cane.
I wanted to thank a young man who lives
in Colony who went around town on Easter
Sunday handing out chocolate candy crosses
and a happy spring message that he had purchased himself. He had done this I guess since
2020. Thank you.
What a fine car show in Garnett on Saturday.
Weather was perfect and did you see how many
very, very cool cars came out? Had a good time
looking at these classics and visiting with the
owners. Thanks to all the owners who came and
good job Garnett.

porate the Courts decision
into clean water regulations,
this is a massive win for farmers, ranchers, and property
owners all across the country.
Duvall said even with the
5-4 case vote, all nine Justices
agreed that EPAs so-called
significant nexus testthe
agencys tool to assert more
authority over private land
was an overreach. The Justices
only disagreed on which wetlands that are adjacent to
navigable waters can be regulated.
Let that sink in for a minute, Duval said. EPAs position was rejected by ALL nine
Justices on the Court. This
is not a political or partisan
issue. Its common sense, and
yet it took years of advocacy to
get here.

Garnett Public Library June 2023 book
discussion – Wish you were here
Garnett Public Librarys
book discussion for June 28th
is titled, Wish You Were Here
by Jodi Picoult.
From the #1 New York
Times bestselling author of
Small Great Things and The
Book of Two Ways comes a
deeply moving novel about
the resilience of the human
spirit in a moment of crisis.
(https://www.jodipicoult.com/
wish-you-were-here.html).
Diana OToole is perfectly
on track. She will be married
by thirty, done having kids by
thirty-five, and move out to
the New York City suburbs, all
while climbing the professional ladder in the cutthroat art
auction world. Shes an associate specialist at Sothebys now,
but her boss has hinted at a
promotion if she can close a
deal with a high-profile client.
Shes not engaged just yet, but
she knows her boyfriend, Finn,
a surgical resident, is about to
propose on their romantic getaway to the Galapagosdays
before her thirtieth birthday.
Right on time.
But then a virus that felt
worlds away has appeared in
the city, and on the eve of their
departure, Finn breaks the
news: Its all hands on deck
at the hospital. He has to stay
behind. You should still go, he
assures her, since it would be
a shame for all of their nonrefundable trip to go to waste.
And so, reluctantly, she goes.
Almost
immediately,
Dianas dream vacation goes
awry. Her luggage is lost, the
Wi-Fi is nearly nonexistent,
and the hotel theyd booked is
shut down due to the pandemic. In fact, the whole island is
now under quarantine, and
she is stranded until the borders reopen. Completely isolated, she must venture beyond
her comfort zone. Slowly, she
carves out a connection with
a local family when a teenager with a secret opens up to
Diana, despite her fathers suspicion of outsiders.
In the Galapagos Islands,
where Darwins theory of natural selection was formed,
Diana finds herself examining
her relationships, her choices,
and herselfand wondering if
when she goes home, she too
will have evolved into someone
completely different., (https://
www.jodipicoult.com/wishyou-were-here.html).
This popular book has
been recently adapted for the
streaming service Netflix.
Discussion will be held June
28th at 7 p.m. in the Archer
Room at the Garnett Public
Library. The books are available for checkout at the library
as well as on the Cloud Library
app and the Libby App. Please
join us and connect through

The move comes at a time
when competition among
local primary care providers has ramped up, with the
recent affiliation of former
ACH Family Care Center physician Ross Kimball with the
Community Health Center of
Southeast Kansas. Garnett City
Manager Travis Wilson sits
on CHCs board of directors,
though the city has no direct
affiliation with the group.
If completed, the Saint
Lukes/BJC
deal
would
emplace BJCs present CEO
Richard Liekweg at the head
of the new organization with
the chairman of the new board
being placed on an appointment from Saint Lukes. The
merger is subject to regulatory
review but expected to be completed by the end of 2023.

FROM PAGE 1
Oh, the joys of those who do not
follow the advice of the wicked,
or stand around with sinners,
or join in with mockers. (Psalm
1:1) A life of joy is possible, but
there are some pitfalls to avoid
if you want your joy to remain.
First, dont follow the advice
of the wicked! Remember, not
all advice is solicited, and not
all free advice is good advice.
Eve didnt ask for advice, but
after the serpent convinced
her to eat the fruit from the
tree of the knowledge of good
and evil, she realized just how
bad that advice was. The devil
has always been a liar bent
on deceiving humanity. He
uses the media, marketing,
and even the ignorance of well
meaning people to try to lead
you astray with bad advice.
Before following any advice,
check the motive of the one
giving it, verify the source of
their information, and measure it against the word of God.
Secondly, dont stand around
with sinners. Idle hands are
the devils workshop, so the
old saying goes. Instead of
being idle and standing around
experiencing boredom that
leads to mischief, we should
take Jesus' advice when he
says, Come, follow me. Once
we become followers of Jesus,
he bids us, Go, tell the world
about me. Lastly, we should
not join in with mockers. Do
not be deceived, God will not
be deceived; God cannot be
mocked. A man reaps what
he sows. (Gal 6:7). Just think
about Pharaoh in Exodus,
Goliath in 1 Sam 17, and the
King of Assyria in 2 Kings 19.
Each one of these guys mocked
God while oppressing Gods
people but the outcome was
their own destruction. Not
only should we not mock God,
but we should, let no corrupt
talk come out of your mouths,
but only such as is good for
building up, (Eph 4:29). These
are three simple, yet impactful,
steps we can take in order to
live a life of joy. Hear this

MANHATTAN The
Kansas State University Steel
Bridge team will participate
in the American Institute
of Steel Construction, or
AISC, National Steel Bridge
Competition June 2-3 on the
campus of the University of
California at San Diego.
Locally, Koby Hesse, senior
in civil engineering, Greeley,
will be part of the team making
the trek.
The team took second place
as hosts of the American
Society of Civil Engineers, or
ASCE, Mid-America Student
Symposium regional competition in April, which challenged participants to create
a one-tenth scale steel bridge
approximately 20 feet in
length.
The process included designng and fabricating a bridge to
support 2,500 pounds of steel.
The metrics used to determine
the best bridge included the
overall aesthetics, the weight
and vertical deflection of the
bridge, and the time required
to build the bridge from steel
parts. Each part must fit in a
box with dimensions of 4 inches by 6 inches by 4 feet.
Scott Schiff, teaching professor of civil engineering, is the
faculty advisor for the team.
"Overall, each bridge is
scored based on lowest cost, and
our bridge came in second with
a cost of $21 million," said team
captain Johan Rogers, senior
in civil engineering, Frederick,
Maryland. "Finishing second
overall qualified us to make the
trip to nationals and finish the
year strong."
In addition to Rogers and
Hesse, members of the Steel
Bridge team traveling to San
Diego include the following
students:
Caden Powell, junior in civil
engineering, Abilene; Cade
Rapp, senior in civil engineering, Olathe; Isaac Brakner,
junior in civil engineering,
Paola; Gabe Flanders, graduate student in civil engineering, Pratt; Ty Reishus, junior
in civil engineering, Shawnee;
Joe Van Lanen, senior in civil
engineering, St. Marys.
From out of state: Kurtis
Wicka, 2023 graduate in civil
engineering, Paso Robles,
California; Morgan Trabert,
senior in civil engineering, Rosemount, Minnesota;
Gavin McGowan, senior in
civil engineering, St. Clair,

Your next home is located on

4th Avenue in Garnett has 3
bedrooms, 2 baths. Original
detailed front door welcomes
you with beautiful stained
glass. Original bending staircase with lots of detailed
woodwork. Refinished hardwood floors. Crown molding.
Bullseye doorframes. Kitchen
is newly remodeled. Both
baths are newly remodeled
with one featuring a round
glass shower with exposed
brick above. Living room has
a large stone and tile woodburning fireplace. Den on the
main floor could make a 4th
bedroom. One of the upstairs
bedrooms is wired for 220
and plumbed to give the possibility of a kitchen which
could then potentially be
transformed into an upstairs/

Teen Driving Danger: Memorial Day marked start of 100 deadliest days on the roadways
WICHITA – The unofficial
start to summer has arrived
the season for backyard barbecues, road trips, ball games
and basking in the sun. But
AAA Kansas reminds that
the period between Memorial
Day and Labor Day is also
a season of increased risk
especially for teen drivers
on the roadways, making
those summer days the 100
Deadliest Days of the year.
More than 7,300 people
died nationwide in crashes
involving teen drivers from
2012 to 2021 during the 100
Deadliest Days, the period
between Memorial Day and
Labor Day. Thats nearly half
of the number of those killed
in teen-driver crashes for the
entire remaining months out
of the year. In 2021 alone,
900 people were killed in
teen-driver crashes, up from
851 the previous year a nearly 6% increase. The number killed in 2021 also represents a greater than 25%
increase over pre-pandemic
2019. Often, the victims are
passengers, pedestrians or
occupants of other vehicles,
making the roadways more
dangerous for all.
In Kansas, 105 people were
killed in crashes involv-
ing teen drivers ages 15 to
18 during the 100 Deadliest
Days from 2012 to 2021, representing 34% of all vehicle
crash fatalities during that
10-year period. According
to Kansas Department of
Transportation crash data,
there were 11,507 vehicle
crashes in all of 2021 (the latest data available) involving
teen drivers ages 15 to 19,
40 of the crashes including
fatalities and 2,878 crashes
resulting in injuries.
There are more daily
deaths from crashes involving teen drivers during the
summer months than the
rest of the year because teens
tend to have more unstructured time behind the wheel,
as they commute to summer
jobs, enjoy summertime
activities and spend time
with friends, said Shawn
Steward, public affairs
manager, AAA Kansas.
Unfortunately, as more
teens take to the road over
the summer, the results can
be deadly. AAA recommends
that parents take time now
to both model safe driving
behaviors and help ensure
their teens practice them as
well.
AAA encourages teen driv-
LINE…
FROM PAGE 1
Daniel Mayers, there has never
been a situation in America
where a double-circuit is comprised of two different utilities
lines.
Commissioner
Dwight
Keen, who was appointed by
Governor Jeff Colyer, noted
in his dissent, however, that
simply because it has not been
done before does not mean it
couldnt be done.
Keen said he would have
denied the siting application and required NextEra
and Evergy to negotiate a Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) governing the double circuited
lines and coordinate the construction phase, the operating
procedures (including maintenance responsibilities), access
sharing issues, and cost-sharing arrangements for all issues
of mutual concern.
This would have meant that
approximately 22.5 of the project be co-located on a single
set of poles with an existing
nearby or adjacent Evergy
transmission line to avoid having two major electric transmission lines sited parallel to
each other along any portion of
the route of the Line.
Keen would also have asked
the Southwest Power Pool of
which Kansas is a member and
to which French is the state
representative to weigh in to
ensure there would not be two
parallel lines for any portion of
the line.
During the business meeting where the decision was
made, Keen was adamant that
this was simply a bad plan.
Parallel electric transmission lines and their infrastructure can constitute very
burdensome untenable and
adverse encumbrances on the
land and, in this instance, in
my opinion, make the proposed
route of this line unreasonable, he said.
Moreover, he said, the SPP
was driving the decision-making in this case and failed to
get input from the KCC early in
the process.
This flawed SPP vetting
process precluded the KCCs
staff from providing timely
input regarding local issues
and concerns at certain consequential stages in the SPPmanaged
decision-making
processes, Keen said. The
Commission Order recognizes that the SPP would have
benefited from involving the
Commission at the outset or
certainly earlier in its review
processes. Unfortunately, it did
not.
Under the circumstances,
granting this siting permit, in
my opinion, without remanding important issues to the SPP
for its reconsideration, gives
only passing acknowledgment
of the serious cost consequences and burdens for affected
Kansas landowners and other
stakeholders, all favoring and
advancing more immediate
regional SPP benefits. As a
result of the approval of this
line siting application, affected
landowners along a 22.5-mile
segment of this line will have
their lands encumbered in perpetuity by two parallel large
electric transmission lines traversing their properties.
Indeed, local landowners
Rochelle McGhee-Smart and
Darren McGhee did object
to such encumbrances and,
through their attorney, blasted
the KCCs decision.
Instead of meeting their
statutory obligation to protect
the rights of all interested parties, these Commissioners sold
out Kansas farmers and ranchers to a Florida-based conglomerate so it can now ship Kansas
energy out of state, the statement from Rustin J. Kimmell
of Kimmell Law reads. The
Duffy/French Order does not
mention the 50 written public comments that run 145
pages from citizens in Allen,
Anderson, Bourbon, Coffey,
and Crawford counties or our
citizens nearly uniform opposition to the Blackberry Line
at public hearings in Iola and
Girard. The Commissioners
did not even attend a large portion of the two public hearings.
To the KCC, public participation was a mere formality, with
no substance to be considered
by the Commissioners in their
decision.
Because the developers
were given the status of a public utility nearly a year ago,
landowners in the five affected
counties Coffey, Anderson,
Allen, Bourbon and Crawford
could be forced to allow the
project under eminent domain.
A state agency should
order no one in Kansas to give
up their land to host two
parallel high-voltage electric
transmission lines across their
property. Even worse is that
the KCC permitted NextEra to
secure the poles by guy wires,
not requiring free-standing
poles that would be much easier to farm around. Perhaps
most infuriating is that the two
Commissioners acknowledge
in the Duffy/French Order
that the whole route selection
process is flawed suggesting
they will try to do better in the
next line routing case.
Maybe the Commission
will correct some flaws in the
future, but probably not. And
it surely will not fix the problems NextEras line creates for
Kansas farmers and ranchers
now.
ers to double down on staying focused when driving,
buckling up for every ride
and driving within posted
speed limits. Parents should
also talk to their teens specifically about the dangers of
impaired driving.
Helping teen drivers keep
roadways safe
According to the AAA
Foundation 2021 Traffic
Safety Culture Index, teen
drivers ages 16-18 admitted
to having engaged in at least
one of the following risky
behaviors in the past 30 days:
Driving 10 mph over the
speed limit on a residential
street (39%)
Driving 15 mph over the
speed limit on a freeway
(34%)
Texting (28%)
Red-light running (27%)
Aggressive driving (25%)
Drowsy driving (16%)
Driving without a seatbelt
(12%)
Drinking enough alcohol to be over the adult legal
limit (4%)
Riding in a car driven by
someone who has had too
much alcohol (8%)
Driving within an hour of
having used marijuana (6%)
In addition to modeling
safe driving behaviors and
talking to their teens about
factors that can contribute
to the risk of a crash, parents
should also consider having
their teens complete a comprehensive driver education
course to learn the rules of
the road.
While they sometimes
may not think so, parents
remain the best line of
defense to keep everyone safe
behind the wheel, said AAA
Kansas Steward Its never
too soon for parents to talk to
their kids about the dangers
of distracted driving, speeding, and alcohol and marijuana impairment. But they also
need to model good driving
behavior themselves.
To keep roads safer this
summer, AAA encourages
parents to:
Talk with teens early and
often about abstaining from
dangerous behavior behind
the wheel, such as speeding,
impairment and distracted
driving.
Teach by example and
eliminate their own risky
behavior when driving.
Establish a parent-teen
driving agreement that sets
family rules for teen drivers.
Conduct at least 60 hours

We know that fatal crashes
involving teen drivers nearly double in summer months
as compared to the rest of
the year, said AAA Kansas
Steward But AAA reminds
that the 100 Deadliest Days of
the year bring an increased
risk for all road users.
According to preliminary data from the National
Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA),
there were 11,395 deaths on
U.S. roadways in June, July
and August of last year. More
than half of those killed were
someone other than the driver, including nearly 1,600
pedestrians and almost 2,200
motorcyclists.
With that in mind, AAA
is encouraging everyone to
consider what they themselves can do to reduce the
risk of traffic fatalities over
the summer.
Teen drivers spend more
time behind the wheel in
summer months and they certainly have less experience
than those who have been
driving for years, AAAs
Steward added. But tragedy
can impact drivers of any age
when good driving behaviors
fall by the wayside.

SPORTS
Central Heights track & field
Greeley High holds Alumni Banquet
compete at 2A State Championships
WICHITA – In what was the
culmination of a successful
track season for a quartet of
sophomore runners for the
Central Heights Vikings track
team, head coach Troy Prosser
is not only happy with what
they accomplished but obviously cant wait to see what the
group does over the next couple
of years.
Prosser stated, Christian
McCord, Owen Miller, Connor
Burkdoll and Cody Hammond
all made massive improvements over the past three
months and the dividends were
huge at the State Championship
Meet in Wichita on Friday and
Saturday.
Friday morning, McCord
kicked off the teams haul of
medals by placing 5th in the
boys 3200 meter run. His 9:53
personal record was nine seconds faster than his previous
best, broke the 10 minute barrier for the first time, and firmly
cemented himself as one of the
best in the history of Central
Heights (the current school
record of 9:45 in the event was
set by Greg Carey in 1989). As
proof of how difficult class 2A
became this year, McCords
time this season would have
won 2A State in 2022.
He has a tireless work ethic
and I know he is even more
motivated to break some new
barriers in the next school
year, Prosser added.
Saturday, we had the remaining two of our three qualifying
events and both ended up as
two of the best performances
in over a decade of Central
Heights track & field. The
boys 4×800 (McCord, Miller,
Burkdoll and Hammond – with
Freshman Aidan Dunbar as
an alternate), set a season best
by three seconds and earned a
State runner-up finish. It has
been over 20 years since the
school has placed that high in
the 4×800 at State.
We unfortunately got boxed
in early on the first two laps,
kept chipping away, but ultimately werent able to make
up the deficit by the end. After
finishing 8th in the event last
year, a State Runner-up finish
sets these boys up incredibly
well for the future. Nearly
every other team in the top 10
had at least one senior on their
team, Prosser said.
Rounding out the day and
the season was Cody Hammond
in the 800m. He came in with
the second fastest time in class
2A this season and lowered his
own school record by nearly
four tenths of a second on his
way to an individual State runner-up finish. His previous best
only two weeks ago was 1:59.81.
Prosser added, To put his
performance at State in perspective, Codys time of 1:56.29
would have placed him as
either the State Champion or
in the top three of Class 1A, 2A,
3A, 4A, and 5A and would have
been 5th over in class 6A.
In just the second season
of high school running for all
of these boys, the future has
an incredible amount of potential, Prosser concluded.
Lancers earn valuable state experience
WICHITA – The Crest Lancers
feature just a pair of state qualifying seniors as numerous
underclassman gain invaluable
experience in their first state
track meet on May 26th and
27th in Wichita.
Senior Brinley McGhee for
the girls finished 14th in the 100
meter preliminaries (17.52) and
was also part of the 4×100 team
and 4×400 teams that finished
16th and 15th respectively.
For the boys it was senior
Ethan Godderz leading the way
with an 11th place finish in the
long jump (1911), 12th in the
triple jump (406.5) and was
part of the 4×100 team, along
with Jerry Rodriguez, Gentry
McGhee and Brenton Edgerton,
that finished in 7th place with a
time of 44.90.
Gunner Ellington was the
only other state qualifier for
the boys and he finished 15th in
the 1600 meter run with a time
of 5:04.15.
Overall for the Lancers it
was the freshmen legs of Josie
Walter and Peyton Schmidt
that led the way.
Walter finished in 5th
place in the 3200 meter run
with a time of 12:41.50 and 6th
in the 1600 meter run (5:43).
Freshmen dominated the 3200
meter run as 4 of the top 5 finishers were freshmen runners.
Fellow freshman Schmidt
finished 8th in the 3200 meter
run (12:55.36) and 15th in the
800 meter run (2:40.73).
Mia Coleman, junior, had
the 16th fastest time in the 100
meter hurdles (17.89) in preliminaries.
As previously mentioned,
the 4×100 team finished 16th
with a time of 54.99. McGhee
was joined by Coleman and
freshmen Kaelin Nilges and
Kinley Edgerton.
The same quartet ran the
4×400 and finished 15th with a
time of 4:36.12.
The final event, the 4×800,
was ran by all freshmen as
well with Aubrey Allen, Nilges,
Walter and Schmidt. They finished in 14th with a time of
11:13.28.
Pair of Bulldogs finish top 25 at State in golf
DODGE CITY – Back on May
22-23, the Anderson County
Bulldog trio of seniors Lane
Richards and Carter Blome and
sophomore Eli Martin traveled
to Dodge City and played the
3A State Championship on the
Mariah Hills Golf Course.
Richards led the way with a
+19 overall, good for 23rd. He
shot an 83 on the opening day
and a 78 on day 2.
Martin was right behind in
25th place, 2 shots back (+21).
Like Richards he was 5 shots
better on day two shooting a
79 after an 84 in the opening
round.
Blome missed the day 2 cut,
shooting an opening round 90
to finish +19 for the day.
Round tables and common ground
Kim Baldwin, McPherson
County farmer and rancher
I recently returned home
to Kansas after traveling to
China to participate in a U.S.
Sorghum trade mission. The
trip was organized by the U.S.
Grains Council, and we were
the first U.S. trade mission
team into China since the pandemic.
It was a whirlwind our
teams daily schedule consisted
of reengaging with past sorghum buyers as well as meeting with potential customers
throughout four cities throughout south China.
Our team traveled by way
of planes, trains and automobiles while moving throughout
the country. While our world
has been back to business as
usual for some time following the pandemic, China is still
slowly re-entering that space.
There were very few foreigners and much of the tour
groups we crossed paths with
in public spaces were domestic.
Our days were filled with
very official meetings in large
office buildings. Our team
entered a conference room
and sat at a large rectangular
table directly across from the
Chinese team. We had name
placards and business cards.
The mood was quite serious.
During these meetings sometimes through translators
wed discuss the U.S. sorghum
crop, transportation logistics,
weather concerns, producer
concerns and market opportunities. There was no doubt that
these meetings were all business.
But following each meeting
a major shift in the atmosphere
would always occur. Our
groups would leave the conference room and gather together
again within a spacious dining
room, which always consisted
of a large round table. Our two
unique teams would sit shoulder to shoulder and partake in
food and drink together. We
were no longer looking across
a table to our counterparts.
Instead, we were sitting beside
them as warmly welcomed
guests.
The stark contrast between
the business meetings and the
meals struck me. Time and
time again as our meal host
would serve a piece of fish,
tofu, goose or something new
and exotic to me. It was very
apparent we were not just
sharing a meal together but
also nurturing established
or building on newly created
relationships.
It took a round table and
food to bring our teams together. It took a round table and
food to have candid conversations about our families, our
hobbies and our ways of life.
It took a round table and food
to minimize the barriers that
tend to set us all apart.
There is no doubt relationships matter. Many of the
relationships that have been
developed with our Chinese
sorghum buyers have been
works in progress by groups
like ours within the U.S. agriculture industry over many,
many years.
Its also glaringly apparent our
governments are not on good
terms currently. Tensions are
high and trust is lacking.
But we share common
ground when it comes to food.
Afterall, food is what allowed
our trade mission team to
enter into China in the first
place. Food was the topic of
The annual Greeley High
Alumni Banquet was held on
Saturday, May 27, 2023, at St.
Johns Hall in Greeley, KS.
Along with visiting and reminiscing, 120 graduates, family
