County gets free offer to craft solar regulations
With six months remaining
on moratorium, advocacy
group volunteers assistance
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT With the clock ticking
to the 6-month mark into Anderson
Countys 1-year moratorium against
industrial solar farm developments,
commissioners got an offer recently
of free assistance in the crafting of
possible upcoming wind and solar policies from one of Kansas pre-eminent
advocates for renewable energy.
Rob Harrington, who wears hats as
both the director of Bourbon County
Economic Development at Fort Scott
and also as the Kansas State Director
for the Center for Infrastructure &
Economic Development, met with
commissioners February 20 to offer
free assistance from the CIED if and
when Anderson County begins to
draft regulations on industrial solar
installations. Commissioners adopted
a full year-long moratorium on the projects in August of last
year, weeks after
enacting a sweeping slate of regulations on solar farms
as recommended
by the county planHarrington
ning and zoning
commission. Those
actions aimed at
slowing possible solar developments
in Anderson County followed a 2017
victory by wind farm opponents in
the county to stop a commercial wind
turbine field in the eastern third of the
county.
Harrington told the Review his
offer of assistance was made outside of
any political debate in communities
where solar and wind are increasingly contentious topics.
Our team is not in favor nor
against any specific wind or solar
project, Harrington told the
Review last week. We just provide recommendations to local
governments regarding the industry standards for both regarding
their local resolutions. As I told the
Commissioners they are welcome
to use them or not, we are just providing a service to them to hopefully help with their decision process.
County commissioner Les
McGhee told the Review commissioners were still researching the
solar issue amid the current moratorium and were taking full advantage of the remaining delay timetable for fact finding. No agreement
was made with Harringtons CEID,
McGhee said.

Lawyers, court to conference Thursday
on way to Marnells murder arraignment
Man alleged to have killed his
infant son heads toward prelim
as supporters stand with family
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
OTTAWA Prosecutors and the defense attorney for a Richmond man accused of murdering
his one-month old son will conference electronically on Thursday for a scheduling hearing
as lawyers move toward an anticipated preliminary hearing for Jason
Marnell on first degree murder and child abuse charges.
The case status hearing
for Marnell, 24 of Richmond,
is on the Franklin County
court docket for 1 p.m.
March 7 before Franklin
County Magistrate Judge
Kara Reynolds.
Marnell
Field officers with the
Kansas Bureau of Investigation and deputies with the Franklin County
Sheriff's Department arrested Marnell during
a traffic stop near U.S. Highway 59 and Clark
Road north of Richmond February 14th. The
arrest came after an investigation that began
when Franklin County deputies responded
to a medical call at Marnell's residence in
Richmond January 14th of an infant who was
unresponsive. Waylon S. Marnell died January

Marnell carried messages of support hoping
for justice in the infants murder case.

of apparent head trauma.
At the time of his arrest, Jason Marnell
had been released on a $2,500 bond after being
charged in Anderson County District Court in
December 2023 with felony theft and making
false information. He served eight days in
Franklin County Jail in May 2022 after a previous felony theft charge was amended to a misdemeanor. Marnell was released from court-ordered probation on that charge in January 2023
according to court records.
Marnell is being held in the Franklin County
Jail in lieu of $500,000 bond.
Prelim today for man in October standoff
GARNETT The Garnet
man who held law officers
at bay for several hours in
October in an armed standoff
on North Oak Street will be
in Anderson County District
Court today for a preliminary
hearing on charges of assault
on a law enforcement officer,
domestic battery and criminal
threat in connection with the
incident.
James L. Chambers was
arrested October 21 of last year
when officers said a domestic
incident with his wife erupted
into his barricading himself
in his garage with a firearm.
Chambers wife and children
left the residence during the
incident, but he refused to
leave the garage for some six
hours until officers smashed
in an overhead garage door
and used tear gas rounds to
subdue him.
Chambers was bonded out
of jail on a domestic violence
charge the day following the
incident. The court amended
terms of his bond in mid-February to allow partial contact
with his wife and children.
The purpose of a preliminary hearing is to review initial evidence and testimony to
determine if enough evidence
is present to warrant a trial in
the case.
Smoke billows from an
outbuilding just north of the
Anderson/Franklin County
line last week off U.S.
Highway 169. Last weeks
drop in temperatures led to
re-heating measures for a
number of homes and structures in the area, although
the cause of this fire wasnt
known as of presstime.
Warm temperatures are
expected to continue this
week with windy conditions.

Colony Christian Church
– Man at the Pool
Pastor Chase Riebel's message Sunday was "Man at the
Pool" from John 5:15. The man
at the pool had been an invalid
for 38 years and had completely
given up on being healed. Jesus
asked him if he wanted to get
well and then told him to get up
and walk after healing him.
Brant McGhee's communion
meditation was "Looking Back
and Looking Forward." Many
important occasions in our
lives cause us to look backward
and forward; graduations, weddings, birthdays. Communion
causes us to look backwards
at Christ's death and resurrection and also causes us to look
forward to when Christ comes
again.
Elka Billings led the worship team, including Mike
Billings and Ben Prasko, in
singing "Better is One Day,"
"Evidence," "Abide" and "A

Billings was on percussion and

the closing song Ethan Prasko
took over on drums while Petra
Billings sang "Amazing Love."

Toots was fortunate to find love
again, and she often remarked
to her children that she was
very lucky to have two good
men in her life. Toots was
married to Lt. Col. Robert E.
Boots, (Ret.) on August 10, 1985
at their home in Garnett. Toots
and Bob spent many good years
golfing, traveling, gardening,
serving Meals on Wheels, and
spending time with their family. They were a great influence
to their children and grandchildren and were both tirelessly available to their family
for advice, support, babysitting, and companionship.
Toots and Bob were active
in the First United Methodist
Church of Garnett and devoted many hours there. Toots
enjoyed singing in the church
choir in later years. Bob passed
away September 15, 2015 after
a brief illness. Toots remained
active and could often be seen
walking on the Rail Trail. She
was diagnosed with dementia
in later years, but she kept
active and informed for as
long as she was able. She was
an inspiration to those that
knew her well. Toots moved
to Parkview Heights in March
of 2022, where she was loved
and cared for by their kind
and capable staff until she
was released from her earthly
bonds.
Toots was preceded in death
by her husbands, John Melvin
Watt and Robert E. Boots;
her parents; two brothers,
Eben (Bus) Coleman and Lee
Coleman; her sister, Idelle Fox;
and a granddaughter, Sarah
(Katie) Watt.
Between Toots children
and Bobs children, she is survived by John (Susan) Watt of
Wamego, KS; Julie McNall of
Lawrence, KS; Beth Anderson
of Garnett; Mary Koch (Dennis
Hastert) of Garnett; Mike
(Cheryl) Boots of Wyndham,
NH; Mark (Cathy) Boots of
N. Richland Hills, TX; Elisa
(Mike) Mullins of Meriden, KS;
18 grandchildren; and 26 great
grandchildren.
It is impossible to put into
these few paragraphs the value
of Toots well-lived life. She has
impacted many for the better.
Rest easy, Mom/Grammy.
Funeral services will be
held at 10:00 AM on Friday,
March 8, 2024, at the Garnett
First
United
Methodist
Church. Burial will follow in
the Garnett Cemetery. Toots
family will greet friends at

contributions may be made

Toots graduated from
Garnett High School with the
class of 1944. She left Garnett
at that time to live and work in
downtown Kansas City while
sharing an apartment with her
friend and former classmate,
Hodge, also from Garnett.
They lived near the Plaza, and
Toots worked as a secretary.
She would often ride the train
home to Garnett to see her family on the weekends. On one of
those trips home, Toots was
asked out by her husband-tobe. John M. Watt had been a
friend of Toots brothers while
she was growing up, and she

thought of him romantically,
but John had been away, stationed in the Philippines for
three years during WWII, and
was now home and attending
Ottawa University. Toots and
John began dating, and were
soon married on August 17,
1947 at the First Baptist Church
in Garnett, Kansas.
Toots worked while John
attended school in Ottawa.
She and John then moved to
St. Louis, where John had
been accepted to Washington
University School of Dentistry.
Their first child was born
while living in St. Louis. Toots
and John returned to Garnett,
where they made their home,
upon Johns completion of his
education. Over the years,
Toots worked as a secretary,
as fill-in help at her husbands
dental office, and at the Garnett
Chamber of Commerce. Her
primary job throughout the
years, however, was that of a
homemaker. She excelled in
making her house a home that
all felt welcome in.
John passed away suddenly on March 1, 1982; however,

word hope stands for both the

and the thing hoped for, (1
Peter 1:3, Praise be to the God

Christ! In his great mercy he

living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from

does not arise from the individuals desires or wishes but
from God, who is himself the
believers hope.
Genuine hope is not wishful thinking, but a firm assurance about things that are
unseen and still in the future.
No one hopes for something
they already have. Hope is a
good thing and is what distinguishes the Christian from the
unbeliever who has no hope for
eternal life. As we mature as
Christians our hope will continue to grow in Christ which

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, March 5, 2024
OPINION
Laura Kellys biggest concern
Is it skyrocketing inflation in the cost of food
and consumer goods and huge increases in the
cost of housing?
Is it millions of illegal immigrants descending
upon the United States through Joe Bidens flimflam border and the resulting increases in violent crime in immigrant magnet communities?
Is it a decaying level of clout on the world
stage and runaway wars in the Middle East and
Eastern Europe that could ignite World War III?
Could any of these possibly be the defining
issue of the 2024 election cycle?
Heavens no, Kansas Governor Laura Kelly
told CNN interviewer Abby Phillip during a
hen party interview of 7 female Democrat state
governors recently. The defining issue of the
upcoming election in the view of the Kansas
chief executive is wait for it anything that
curtails a woman disposing of her fetus and ending her pregnancy.
After all, when you woke up this morning
wondering if the check you wrote for your house
payment was going to clear the bank before your
wife took the debit card to the grocery store (a
pound of chicken tenders, $5.99) wasnt the first
thing that popped into your mind the ability and
entitlement of American women to end their
pregnancies?
When you drove to work and heard on the
radio that the Russians were placing a nuclear
weaponized satellite in orbit around the Earth
capable of doing God knows what, it probably
made no impression in your thoughts because
you were so preoccupied with the in vitro
embryo decision by the Alabama Supreme Court
in the middle of February. When your safety is
threatened or illegal immigrant crime is on your
doorstep or you may not be able to pay your
monthly bills, the most important thing in your
mind should obviously be that a woman should
be able to have an abortion whenever she wants.
When Kelly declared the priority that
undoubtedly rules the emotionally and intellectually tone-deaf female Democrat governors
club, investigators from Athens Georgia had
just finished identifying the remains of 22-yearold nursing student Laken Riley, who police
say was murdered by an illegal immigrant from
Venezuela on a popular jogging path in the city.
Kellys statement also coincided with efforts
by the city of Topeka to clear a homeless encampment from the banks of the Kansas River in our
capital city yet another indicator of the economic fallout and social permissiveness now
defining our state and our country as if she
needed one more example that the problems

besetting the rest of the country are no strangers
to the Sunflower State.
What a is a brutal coincidence that Kellys
comments circulate around the ending of life by
force, in the same moral sense that Laken Rileys
life was ended the day before.
The CNN broadcast was of course rife with
the progressive buzzwords that always accompany the alarm that womens reproductive
rights are under attack. One wonders how
ending a pregnancy stopping a life in the
mothers womb can be construed as a reproductive right, since the whole idea is to counter
reproduction. But such is the terminology
constant repetition by pro-abortionists and the
acquiescent embrace of decades of complicit
mainstream media engenders.
Far from her lament to CNN, Kelly should be
ecstatic about the situation for abortion in this
country since the overturn of Roe v. Wade by
the U.S. Supreme Court. Remanding the issue
to individual states along with the defeat of an
anti-abortion amendment to the Kansas constitution in 2022 allowed Kelly and her henchman
to turn Kansas into the Disney World of abortion
seekers for the Midwest plain states with a
huge influx of abortions now setting Kansas up
as an abortion tourism mecca.
Indeed when it comes to abortion, these are
high times on the Kansas plains far from a
major concern if youre an abortion supporter.
The fact that these governors are so far out
of touch with real world problems in their own
states and the nation as a whole is symptomatic of the current historic malady within the
Democratic Party, and one Laura Kelly in particular exemplifies in the most embarrassing way.

Biden went to Brownsville, the 29th worst border crossing city to visit, and Trump went to
one of the highest trafficked illegal crossings in
Texas. I wonder if Biden got ice cream later.
Biden voters need to ask themselves why someone would vote for a rapist, liar, bully and cheat.
Biden raped Tara Reid, fitting his history of
groping women, showering naked with his teen
daughter and exposing himself to female Secret
Service members. He is a lifelong plagiarist and
pathological liar. Even on easily checked things
like that his son died in Iraq. He exploited his
crackhead son as his bag man, bringing him
along on official trips for side deal shakedowns
and influence peddling. He has weaponized
his DOJ against his political opponents with
Democrat courts.
nity start realizing we are all one family and
there are neighbors out there who are on
the opposite side of our political spectrum,
but their beliefs and their values and their
community care and concern match our own.
As long as we participate in the hatred and
the animosity toward others that has been
presented in the previous administration our
country is going to continue to fall apart.
Some people call Democrats Demoncrats. Ive
never met a Democrat whos 100 percent on

I met a Republican who is 100 percent with
their partys platform. Lets do what we can to
be a community again instead of being mean
to one another and saying hateful things
about others simply because they belong to a
different political party. Thank you.
What if some of you writers are told that
throwing slams at Republicans or Democrats
is useless? They are in control as much as God
allows. They are unaware God is in control of
the universe. Instead of fretting about such
trivial things why not get you a Bible and
read about salvation from God?

I think its high time the people in our commu-
Yes, Kansans are morally superior to urban elitists
New York Times columnist Paul Krugman
is at it again.
In his Feb. 26 column The Mystery of
White Rural Rage he essentially criticizes
rural voters support of Donald Trump without presenting any kind of specific reasoning
why Biden could theoretically be a better
option.
And more than that, he mostly just throws
shade at rural folks. By rural folks, I generally mean everyone who lives west of the
Appalachian Mountains or east of the Sierra
Nevadas.
I have to assume all snooty urban elitists
crap on rural America while within their
social circles, so I guess Ill give him credit
for doing it publicly rather than behind our
backs.
The column isnt very cohesive. He starts
by talking about how technology and innovation can be job killers, then he does a book
review, then starts bashing rural support for
conservative politics.
He claims white rural rage is arguably the
single greatest threat facing American democracy which of course means he doesnt like
that we vote for Trump.
He is fundamentally confused about rural
culture. In this excerpt, after he talks about
the loss of jobs to technology, and the resulting use of federal programs as a social safety

net and the loss of dignity associated with
that, he writes:
This feeling of a loss of dignity may be
worsened because some rural Americans have
long seen themselves as more industrious,
more patriotic and maybe even morally superior to the denizens of big cities an attitude
still expressed in cultural artifacts like Jason
Aldeans hit song Try That in a Small Town.
In the crudest sense, rural and smalltown America is supposed to be filled with
hard-working people who adhere to traditional values but the economic and social
reality doesnt match this self-image.
Hes right on the first part and wrong on
the final part.
Ill just speak for Kansans.
We ARE more industrious, more patriotic and morally superior to city folks. This
self-appraisal is nothing new. I admit it. We
definitely look down on the folks Krugman
represents.
In general, we believe the coastal elites are
soft and stupid.
They couldnt really care for themselves if
they had to and couldnt defend their communities if it somehow came to that.
And what the heck are they thinking?
Urban folks have become so deluded in their
woke narrative, theyve lost touch with reality I mean, they cant even seem to tell the
difference between male and female anymore.
Its easy to counter his last sentence.
Does he contend urban areas are filled with
hard-working people or folks with traditional
values compared to rural areas?
I mean, weve all seen the post-apocalyptic
scenes of homelessness and human carnage in
San Francisco or Los Angeles. Even the worst
of Kansas City couldnt compete with that.
And as liberal as college towns can be, the
rainbow mafia wasnt born in Manhattan,
Kansas, but the alphabet army wields power

smaller packaging for foodstuffs.
The White House is targeting the practice
known as shrinkflation, or companies keeping the nominal price of a product the same
while decreasing the amount. This, naturally,
is just another way of charging more. If the
price is the same, but youre getting only 14
ounces of Wheat Thins instead of 16, you are
paying more for your whole-wheat crackers.
President Biden slammed shrinkflation in

and more expensive than it is now. How dare companies arbitrarily deciding to raise pric-
es to boost their profits. There is a basic
implausibility in this theory. It assumes that
for several decades during the long period of
low inflation in the U.S. corporations didnt
use this pricing power. Then, they suddenly
decided to wield it beginning in 2021, coinciding with a period of supply-chain disruptions,
loose monetary policy and extravagant federal spending — all of which one would expect to
be drivers of inflation.
As for shrinkflation, even the consumer
advocate who has been briefing the White
House on this trend, Edgar Dworsky, admits
that these tactics tend to become more prevalent during times of high inflation, in the
words of a CNBC report.
The causes of higher food prices, by the
way, arent a mystery. Why is the price of beef
elevated? The supply of cattle has declined.
Whats up with the more expensive Oreos?
Cocoa prices, The Wall Street Journal reports,
recently passed a 46-year record. And labor
costs have gone up with increases in the minimum wage in states across the country.
Still, The New York Times reports that
the White House is considering new executive actions to crack down on shrinkflation.
Assuming its within the power of the presidency to influence the size of bags, boxes and
bottles of food and drink, forcing them to stay
larger would only render the underlying price
increases more plain.
One might think that the nations chief
executive would have more important things
to worry about than the size of Gatorade bottles, but such is the White Houses political
desperation on food prices that nothing is too
inane or nonsensical.

where the barns now stand, it
was the biggest at 42 ft. x 128 ft.
The poultry tent was 22 ft. x 40
ft. Two other small tents could
be put up if and where needed
to handle over flow or anything
else that was needed.
When Marsh passed away
the tents came to Richmond,
as he had willed them to the
Richmond Fair. Putting up the
tents in 1969 was interesting to
say the least. Marsh had always
put up the tents using teenage
boys. That first year the men
were trying to figure out how
to do it. I had the privilege of
being one of those boys for the
last 3 years that helped Marsh The Richmond Fair had 3 tents regularly set up, but at times two Oral Marsh willed the tents to the Richmond Fair following his passing. Erecting the tents in proved to
put up the tents. At seventeen I smaller tents were erected to help in special circumstances.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW 03-05-2024 / SUBMITTED
Westphalia Elementary School 5th-8th graders visited Parkview Heights on Valentines Day to help the
residents with a craft. Both the residents and the students really enjoyed the experience. Pictured are
Brogan Heck (sitting in the middle) and Kobe Edgecomb (right) helping a resident with a project.
Senior Center pitch results for 2/22
The 22nd of February
brought nineteen card players together for 10 games of
13-point pitch.
These are the results of
those games: Pat Uhlenhake
took top honors winning 8 of 10
games; Paula Walter won the
50/50; Margaret Maumaw won
the least number of games and
Dorothy Spencer had the most
perfect hands with three. On
leap year day we had 17 players, two of our members were
on a cruise. Here are the results
of those games: Jackie Waddle
took top honors winning 8 of
10 games; Paula Walter again
won the 50/50; Kyle Trendel
let these senior citizens put
him in low status of winning
the least number of games and
Jan Wards had the most perfect
hands with four.
Come join us on Thursday
evening promptly at 6 o'clock
at the Senior Center for a fun
evening; Need not be a senior
to play.
Jan Wards reporting
Reagan Witherspoon and
Brodie Wiesner recently qualified for state vocal and state
band respectively.
Witherspoon was in the AllState Treble
Choir
and
Wiesner was
in the 1234A
band. This
honor places them in
the top 3%
in the state
of Kansas at
Witherspoon
their respective talents.
The choir members started
with audition that consisted of
singing portions of two songs
in a blind audition and then
the singer was rated in 9 different categories. This happens at
different locations across the
state as schools attend their
local regional competition. The
students from the surrounding
area that scored high enough
makes the SEKMEA District
Choir at Pittsburg State
University.
The top scorers from all the
different districts from across
the state are then selected to
the All State Choir in Wichita.
There was 256 students in the
Treble Choir. After auditioning for 2 days, about 10 hours
each day, they then perform a
concert on the third day.
The band competition is
similar to the choir. They do
a blind audition and have to
perform a few
songs, scales
and
sight
reads
and
local regionals across the
state.
Like
choir, local
members are
selected to
Wiesner
perform at
PSU and the
top band players are selected
to perform at State in Wichita
as well.
Anderson County High
School band and choir teacher,
Natasha Goetz, also wanted to
point out that members of her
groups also do well on the academic side as well.
An interesting fact, Goetz
stated, The national average
for the ACT is 19.5 and the
state of Kansas is 19.2, but the
average score of students at allstate band and choir is between
25 and 28!
This illustrates the hard
work they are willing to put
in to be successful in every
aspect.

National Ag Week 2024 will
bring new banners downtown
New Banners will be hung
to celebrate National Ag Week,
which runs March 17-23. 2024.
Watch for banners in downtown Garnett, brought to you
by regional ag committee sponsors, which include Anderson
County Conservation District,
Anderson
County
Farm
Bureau Association, Beachner
Grain, Brummel Farm Service,
Valley R Agri-Service Inc.,
East Kansas Agri Energy,
and K-State Research and
Extension-Frontier District, as
well as sponsors from Franklin
and Miami counties.
Garnett has a huge agricultural history and that has
been a large part of what keeps
our community going. We are
incredibly blessed to have the
variety of agricultural services available to local farmers
and ranchers. Generations of
Garnett and Anderson County
families continue to work hard
and pass on their skills to the
next generation. And our children have a chance to learn by
participating in FFA, 4-H, and
other farm and agricultural
groups, so that those traditions
remain alive and thriving!
So, lets celebrate National
Ag Week, and thank a farmerNo Farms, No Food.

local leaders with the necessary resources to create balanced renewable energy policies for the community. We
strongly believe that balanced

Kansas Masonic Foundation recognizes
exceptional teachers and students
TOPEKA – As the philanthropic arm of Kansas Masons, the
Kansas Masonic Foundation is
dedicated to benefiting Kansas
communities and individuals.
In recent years, Kansas Masons
have displayed their commitment to the success of local
communities by supporting
various charitable endeavors,
contributing over $200,000
worth of scholarships annually
to local students, offering free
cancer screenings to Kansas
residents through the Masonic
Cancer Alliance, sponsoring
the Kansas Entrepreneurial
Challenge, and participating
in the Kansas Community
Empowerment Program.
Throughout its rich history,
the Kansas Masonic Foundation
has generously supported
Kansas Public Schools through
the Exemplary Teacher and
Student Awards Program. The
program was originally developed to enable Masonic lodges
throughout Kansas to honor
local teachers, paraprofessionals, and students. Nominations
are accepted year-round and
are available to all K-12 schools
in Kansas. Beginning on April
1, 2024, all recipients will be
presented certificates at predetermined school events by
the local Masonic lodges, along
with gift cards of $25 and $50
increments ($25 for recognized
students and $50 for recognized
teachers).
We would like to honor
local teachers and paraprofessionals for their contributions
to our community and the
future of our children, whether the contribution is a specific act or a lifelong career,
said Robert Shively, Executive
Director of the Kansas Masonic
Foundation. School districts
may make nominations in different ways, such as one teacher and/or paraprofessional per
building or grade, but we aim
to honor local teachers and
students whose scholarship,
leadership, and general personal and academic development
make them truly outstanding.
In 2023, Kansas Masons recognized over 200 teachers and
students statewide through
its Exemplary Teacher and
Student Awards Program and
has set a goal of recognizing
one teacher and student in
every Kansas School in 2024.
If you would like to help reach
this years goal and nominate
a deserving individual in your
school district, please visit the
Kansas Masonic Foundations
website!

County. The county was one
of the first in the region to successfully reject a 30,000-plus
acre wind turbine field in 2017,
when county leaders approved
stringent buffer requirements
between turbines and residences and non-participating
property owners which effectively scuttled a development
planned along the eastern edge
of the county.
Local zoning regulations
had no authority however
over the Kansas Corporation
Commissions granting of public utility status to NextEra
Energy in the fall of 2022 in its
quest to construct an electrical transmission line between
Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating
Facility across Southeast
Kansas to Blackberry, Mo.,
bisecting scores of landowners properties, including
some in Anderson County, and
subjecting them to NextEras
eminent domain authority.
Fallout over such connectivity is a main driver of opposition to solar installations,
which though not as tall and
intrusive as 600-foot tall wind
turbines still take farmland
out of production and generate
controversy when regulators
grant similar line connections

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, March 5, 2024
FORUM…
DISMISSAL…
FROM PAGE 1
County
Development
Director Sherry Harrison
filed the protection from
stalking
o r d e r
against
Hicks over
questions
H i c k s
asked her
regarding
her
settlement
Harrison
demand
and
the
possible filing of a lawsuit
against the city.
Harrison worked for
about six weeks in the
ACDA position starting
in October, but left the
post after alleging numerous affronts and belittling
treatment by past ecodevo
director Julie Turnipseed
in a letter to city manager Travis Wilson. In the
letter, Harrison demanded the equivalent of four
months salary and benefits in exchange for not
divulging her treatment by
Turnipseed and what she
termed a lack of action by
city management to remedy
it, and inferred legal action
against the city if the issue
was not resolved satisfactorily.
Hicks told the court he
obtained a copy of the letter and repeatedly asked
Harrison if she wanted to
comment for a series of stories the Review published
11
LOCAL
FROM PAGE 4
about the issue. Harrison
testified at the hearing
Hicks past actions and
published material and the
email conversation requesting comment made her
fear for her safety, which
prompted her to pursue the
stalking order.
His articles are intentionally harassing and they
have tormented me to the
point that I am unemployable, Harrison said in her
petition for the order. The
man is unwell, unstable,
and one scary dude.
In his decision, Larson
found Hicks requests for
comment for the news
stories did not rise to the
threshold in the Kansas
stalking statute, namely
recklessly engaging in a
course of conduct targeted
at a specific person which
would cause a reasonable
person in the circumstances of the targeted person to
fear for such persons safety, or the safety of a member
of such persons immediate
family and the targeted
person is actually placed in
such fear.
Meanwhile, Garnett City
Manager Travis Wilson said
the city/county economic
development post remains
vacant with discussions
among city, county and
ACDA members that it may
be adapted to a grant writing position. District court
records through last week
show no civil filings made
against the City of Garnett.
to rape and characterized it as
sexy, absurdly alleged Trump
assaulted her in a crowded
department store dressing
room decades ago with zero evidence. The dress she claimed to
be wearing turned out not to
exist then, so she changed her
story to say she didnt know the
year. The New York Democrat
assembly passed a special statute of limitations waiver just
to allow this suit financed by
a Democrat billionaire before
a Democrat judge blocked
contrary evidence. This charade was repeated, claiming
Trumps denying the allegation was defamation. Another
example of demonic Democrats
destroying our justice system
precisely timed for an election.
A whistleblower alerted
Congress to a long time trusted
informant report suppressed
by the FBI about payments
to Biden for, purely on his
own, forcing the firing of a
Ukrainian prosecutor investigating the corrupt firm paying
Hunter and confirming evidence Congress already had.
Only now during an election
year. to protect Biden, does the
FBI expose an arrest based on
nothing, that informant the
FBI proves they demanded not
be exposed. The FBI is now a
criminal organization, nothing
more than the Democrat Party
KGB.
St Lukes here in Anderson
County is the best. They treated me so fine when I was in the
hospital.
(Name) Im sorry what happened to you in the Crest locker room for the game with
Marmaton valley. Hope youre
not bullied today. Sorry.
Nikki Haley says that Donald
Trump lost by 40% of the primary, and he ought to take a
look at that. If you lost by 40%,
what did she lose by? So take a
look at that. Thank you.
Theres lots to be concerned
about in national politics these
days but dont forget we have
worries right here in our town
with liberal sexual influence
on our kids. Dont forget our
Garnett library board voted to
keep an illustrated gay porn
book on the library shelves for
kids. Maybe now that we have
a different city commissioner
we can revisit some of those
appointments to the library
board for some people who
better reflect our communitys
values. Thank you.
Biden and the Democrats
opened our borders to import
massive global third world pov-
erty for future Democrat voters
and even as illegals they are
now counted in the census for
electoral representation due to
Democrat legal action, giving
Democrat sanctuary areas we
all subsidize more electoral representation than Republican
areas. The evil power hungry
Democrat fascists could care
less about hundreds of thousands of fentanyl deaths, tens
of thousands of migrant deaths,
hundreds of thousands migrant
women and children raped and
sold into sex slavery and thousands of violent crime deaths
all resulting from Biden removing Trumps secure border policies.
It was horrible those two people asking for a GoFundMe
page that did the shooting,
but hey, they have a right
just like billionaire Trump
got a GoFundMe to help pay
his fine. A billionaire begging
poor people for money or two
other people that do need the
money. Theyre both deplorable, and you idiots that would
send money to Trump? God you
guys are suckers.
Yet another female jogger
attacked and murdered by an
illegal allowed into this country and then released again
when arrested in Democrat
sanctuary city New York rath-
er than turned over to ICE and
deported. Her death is on you
dingbat Democrat voters, as is
that of countless others due to
Biden and the power hungry
Democratic party open borders
policies. From Venezuela to the
Congo they are emptying their
prisons and sending their violent criminals here.
I am curious if our county or
city leadership has discussed
what were going to do if we
have a bunch of illegal immigrants end up here, or should
we discuss it?
Its stupidity and evil camouflaged as compassion. Its
mind-boggling trying to understand how anyone of sound
mind and any kind of moral
fiber would want to be affiliated with a party with a true history of hate. Lets put truth to
fact. The destructionist party
on the left gave rise to Eugenics
the KKK, segregation, infanticide and much more. Todays
Democrats promulgate the
same evil by their soft bigotry
and low expectations and policies designed to kill thousands
of Americans with abortions,
slavery at the border, fentanyl
over doses, soft on crime policies and more. The left accuses
conservatives of exactly their
own sins.

Spring lawn equipment: Keep safety in mind with these tips
Spring is coming and homeowners are eager to get outside and spruce up their yards.
The Outdoor Power Equipment
Institute (OPEI), an international trade association representing outdoor power equipment, small engine, utility
vehicle, golf car and personal
transport vehicle manufacturers and suppliers, reminds
homeowners to keep safety in
mind.
Before you use a mower,
trimmer, blower, power washer, chainsaw, pruner, portable
generator or other piece of
outdoor power equipment this
season, its important to be up
to date on handling and safety
procedures, said Kris Kiser,
President and CEO of OPEI.
Were all eager to get outside
and enjoy our yards, but you
also need to take the time to
do maintenance to ensure your
equipment operates safely for
the season and is ready to get
the job done.
Here are tips to help:
Read your owners manual.
Follow all guidelines for your
outdoor power equipment and
familiarize yourself with the
controls. Review how to shut
on, shut off, and use the equipment safely. If you have lost
your manual, look it up online
(and save a copy on your computer for easy reference in the
future).
Inspect equipment. Check
the air filter, oil level and the
gasoline tank. Also check for
loose belts and missing or damaged parts. Ensure all safety
guards are in place. Replace
any parts needed or take your
equipment to a qualified service representative for servicing. If using electric equipment
that relies on power cords,
make sure cords are in good
condition and not damaged.
Protect your power by only
using E10 or less fuel in gasoline-powered outdoor power
equipment. With todays higher ethanol content fuels, most
manufacturers are recommending a fuel stabilizer be
used, especially if you dont
use up all the gas purchased
right away. Some gas stations
may offer 15 percent ethanol
(E15) gas or higher ethanol fuel
blends, but any fuel containing
more than 10 percent ethanol
can damage, and is illegal to
use, in small engine equipment
not designed for it.
Store fuel safely. Label your
fuel can with the date of purchase and ethanol content of
the fuel. Never put old gas
in your outdoor power equipment. If you dont know the
date of purchase, dispose safely
of the fuel in the can and buy
fresh fuel. Always store fuel
out of the reach of children
or pets and in approved containers. You should never leave
fuel sitting in the gas tank of
your equipment for more than
30 days as it may cause starting
or running problems or damage.
For battery-powered equipment, recharge your equipment
only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A
charger that is suitable for one
type of battery pack may create
a risk of fire when used with
another battery pack. Follow
all charging instructions. Do
not charge the battery pack or
tool outside the temperature
range specified in the instructions.
Store batteries safely. When
the battery pack is not in use,
keep it away from other metal
objects, like paper clips, coins,
keys, nails, screws or other
small metal objects, that can
make a connection from one
terminal to another. Shorting
the battery terminals together
may cause burns or a fire.
Clean your equipment and
store it in a dry place. Remove
any dirt, oil or grass. Clean
equipment will run more efficiently and last longer. Never
store your equipment in a place
that is damp or wet.
Always keep kids and pets
away when operating outdoor
power equipment. To learn
more, go to www.opei.org. For
information on safe fueling, see
www.LookBeforeYouPump.

vacation:
Plan ahead. Allow plenty of
time to research hotels, flights,
and your stay area.
Avoid broad internet
searches. Entering phrases
like best deals into whichever
search engine is used can sometimes bring up-websites that
look official but are designed
solely to rip people off.
Be alert for travel scams.
Watch out for phone calls or
letters claiming a 'free trip' or
websites offering prices that
appear too good to be true.
Do your homework. Ask
family and friends to recommend a travel agent or website, and visit BBB.org for free

BBB Tip: Planning your family vacation or Spring Break trip
The average travel scam in
the U.S. results in hundreds of
dollars in losses, according to
data provided by BBB Scam
Tracker. Scammers often take
advantage of consumer habits and capitalize on trending
internet searches, enticing
consumers with great deals to
popular destinations or all-inclusive packages. While these
scams persist year-round, they
often increase in frequency
during increased travel, such
as spring break and the holiday
or summer season.
So far this year, according to
the FTC, U.S. consumers have
reported over $265,140 lost to
travel scams. There was an
18.9% increase in 2022 in the
median loss totaling almost $600
compared to 2021, with a little
over $500 in monetary losses.
According to FTCs Consumer
Sentinel Network reports, travel-related fraud cost U.S. consumers $105.1 million in losses.
It accounted for 16% of all fraud
reported to the agency in 2022.

LOCAL
Local area about 90 percent dark in April eclipse
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT Though the
Monday, April 8th, solar
eclipse wont be seen in totality
from Eastern Kansas, its going
to get dark. Very dark.
Calculations based on NASA
research data show the partial
eclipse should begin in Garnett
at approximately 12:35 p.m.,
and will reach its maximum
point at about 1:52 p.m., when
some 90 percent of the sun will
be blotted out by the moon. The
whole event will last about 2
hour 34 minutes.
A solar eclipse happens
when the moon passes between
Earth and the sun, blocking its
view of the Sun from a small
part of the earths surface
either totally or partially. An
alignment like that actually
happens about ever six months,
during the eclipse season in
its new moon phase, when the
Moons orbital plane is closest
to the plane of the Earths orbit.
In a total eclipse, the disk
of the Sun is fully obscured
by the Moon. In partial and
annular eclipses, only part of
the Sun is obscured. Unlike a
lunar eclipse, which may be
viewed from anywhere on the
night side of Earth, a solar
eclipse can only be viewed
from a relatively small area of
the world. Though total solar
eclipses occur somewhere on
Earth every 18 months on average, they recur at any given
place only once every 360 to 410
years.
If the Moon was in a perfectly circular orbit and in the
same orbital plane as Earth,
there would be total solar
eclipses once a month at every
new moon. Instead, because the
Moons orbit is tilted at about
5 degrees to Earths orbit, its
shadow usually misses Earth.
Solar and lunar eclipses therefore happen only during eclipse
seasons, resulting in at least
two, and up to five, solar eclipses each year, no more than two
of which can be total. Total
eclipses are more rare because
they require a more precise
alignment between the centers of the Sun and Moon, and
because the Moons apparent
size in the sky is sometimes too
small to fully cover the Sun.
Though the illustration of
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW 03-05-2024 / Photo
In early April, a solar eclipse will bring darkness to the area as the moon will block around 90% of the
sun in the Garnett area in the 2 1/2 hour event.
the phenomena will still be dramatic in our part of the country, Kansas will still be more
than a hundred miles from the
full blackout path as the shadow makes its way from southwestern Mexico across Texas
and the southeast corner of
Oklahoma, slicing across most
of Arkansas and Southeast
Missouri as it heads on a path
to the New England states. The
curve of the earth makes more
and more of the sun visible
from under the moon shadow
the further a viewer is away
from the core blackout path.
The movement of the moon and
the elapsed time of the fullest
level of the event also moves
faster due to that geometry.
For eastern Kansans who
want to experience the total
eclipse, it will require a few
hours drive into Arkansas.
There, the solar eclipses will
reveal the Suns outer atmosphere the corona a white,
wispy halo of solar material
that flows out from around
the Sun. This atmosphere is
breathtaking as it glows in the
sky for viewers on Earth, surrounding the dark disk of the
moon with a halo.
In addition to revealing this
normally hidden part of our
sun, the eclipse also darkens
the sky, changes shadows, and
cools the air. Animals famously alter their behavior because
of the sudden change in sunlight and air temperature.
As we go through the
phases of an eclipse, there
are changes in light, said
RCH 10TH
OUGH MA
NOW THR
OR
Liz Aguilar, a PHD student in
biology at Indiana University.
There will probably be a twilight zone of around 30 minutes before we reach totality
during the eclipse in April.
During the twilight zone,
temperatures, light and wind
will fluctuate, and these environmental shifts can initiate
reactions from animals.
The biggest response well
see is the onset of evening patterns, Aguilar said.
For nocturnal animals, they
may think its time for their
evening activities to begin.
Animals like opossums, bats
and owls may emerge from
their daytime resting places.
Crickets, whippoorwills and
frogs might begin their evening
chorus of chirps and songs.
For diurnal (daytime active)
animals, the eclipse could signal that its bedtime. So birds
might fly into trees and chickens might settle into their
coops to roost for the night.
Bees could return to their
hives, and barnyard animals
like horses and cows may start
moving toward their stables.
Even exotic animals may
respond to the changing cosmic patterns. Aguilar said
there are case examples from
zoos where baboons were seen
huddling together and remaining highly vigilant during an
eclipse, while giraffes and elephants began approaching the
entrance of their enclosures.
The environmental changes
from an eclipse can also influence pet behavior. Dogs who
get anxious during storms may
associate the sudden loss of
sunlight with adverse weather.
Although animals may behave
a bit differently during an
eclipse, they arent likely to be
harmed by looking up at it.
Its been cautioned against
looking at any sun phenomena without eye protection.
instructions and methods of
viewing the eclipse are available at www.science.nasa.gov
and www.eclipse2024.org.

Lady Bulldogs fall just shy of State
Lancers drop semifinal matchup to Madison
WELLSVILLE Fourth quarter struggles in the substate
championship match were
just too much to overcome for
the Anderson County Lady
Bulldogs (18-4) as they fell just
shy of making it to the state
tournament despite having a
great season.
Anderson County opened as
the #2 seed and won over #7
seed Wellsville (4-16) 41-34 at
home last Tuesday. The final
score was not indicative as to
how the game went.
The AC girls were up 22-11
at halftime and 37-21 midway
through the fourth quarter
before Wellsville tried to rally.
Wellsville outscored the Lady
Bulldogs 13-4 over the final 3
minutes of the game but ran
out of time.
The Bulldogs would forge
ahead building an 8 point lead,
25-17 midway through the third
quarter.
Kylie Disbrow led the
Bulldogs with 17 points.
Then on Friday they hit the
road by traveling to Wellsville
and had another difficult contest, eeking past Prairie View
(16-6) 35-34.
The AC girls led 10-8 after
ROSALIA After an opening
with a first round bye, the
Crest Lancer (10-10) boys came
up just short of the championship game losing to Madison/
Hamilton 43-37.
Madison/Hamilton
(1111) held a slim 9-7 lead after
the first quarter but behind a
strong second quarter opened
up a 27-15 lead at halftime.
The Lancers fought back in
the second half but just didn't
have enough left in their tanks.
Crest outscored their opponent 9-8 in the third quarter
and 13-8 in the fourth, but still
came up short.
Ryan Golden led the Lancers
with 13 points and 9 rebounds
on the night.
Drake Wier added 9 points
and 3 rebounds and Rogan
Wier and Jacob Zimmerman
each chipped in with 4 points
each.
In the ensuing round, Olpe
(20-3) knocked off Madison/
Hamilton in a hard fought
championship game by the
final of 44-35.
Olpe will open up play at
state this Wednesday as a #5
seed and will play Clifton Clyde
High School (20-3).
MOUND CITY Top-seeded
Jayhawk-Linn ended the
Central Heights Vikings season on Monday, February 26
with a 54-32 win at home.
Despite the loss, the Lady
Vikings finished the season
winning four of their final 7
games after beginning the season losing their first 14 games.
Jayhawk-Linn (17-4) would
lose their semifinal game
against Maranatha Christian
Academy (13-9) 52-43. Eureka

final match up with Maranatha
in dominating fashion 60-26 to

March 6th.
the first and just 17-14 at halftime as both offenses were
struggling.
AC would go on an 8-3 run in
the opening minutes of the second half to lead 25-17 just after
the midway point of the third
quarter.
It would be another dry
spell for Anderson County
over the next 5 minutes of play.
Fortunately their defense was
up to the task. Despite only
scoring 4 points points in that
span, they limited Prairie View
to just 2, giving them a 27-17
lead with about 6 minutes left.
Prairie View would start
to chip away at the deficit
down the stretch, outscoring
Anderson County 17-8, but
came up just short in a thrilling
finish to the 35-34 win for the
Bulldogs.
In the championship game,
the AC girls came out playing
well jumping on top of top-seeded Heritage Christian Academy
(20-3).
The offense was playing well
early taking an 8-5 lead midway
through the first and building
their advantage up to 19-13
after the first quarter.
AC would jump up by 9 on a
three-pointer by Caitlyn Foltz
with just under 5 minutes left

to 33-29.

quarter.

Franklin (16-5) in the opening round, but they couldn't
carry that momentum over to
their second round game on
Thursday against Wellsville.
West Franklin had the early
advantage over the Bulldogs
leading 16-15 after the first
quarter. With a slim advantage
in the second quarter, 12-10,
West Franklin opened up a
28-25 lead heading into halftime.

with 4 quick points by Brandon
Wheat midway through the
third quarter to take a 35-32
lead.

od, each team tallying 8 points
over the second half of the third
quarter as the Bulldogs were
clinging to a 43-40 lead heading
into the fourth.
The fourth quarter was more
intense back and forth basketball, but the Bulldogs prevailed
down the stretch with some
clutch free throws to hold on
for the 60-57 win.
Wellsville (20-3) would down
the Bulldogs 74-40 and proceed
to qualify for State with a
77-57 win in the substate
championship over top-seeded

catch up mode all night against

midway through the first quarter. Wellsville would outscore
the Bulldogs 13-6 over the second half of the period for a 25-12
lead.

In fact, both teams struggled
all period. Anderson County
had the upper hand, albeit
slightly, outscoring Wellsville
7-6 in the period.
Unfortunately
for
the
Bulldogs, Wellsville would
seize control in the second half
by opening the half on a 24-12
run to lead 55-31 early in the
fourth.
It didn't get any closer.
Wellsville outscored Anderson
County 19-9 in the final 6:44
of the game to pull away for a
74-40 win.

they cruised to a 77-57 win over
Heritage Christian Academy
(12-11). Heritage Christian
Academy was fresh off an upset
of top-seeded Humboldt the previous game.
Wellsville will be the
fourth seed and open play on
Wednesday in Hutchinson

Lady Vikings lose sub-state opener
Viking boys lose semifinal match to Lyndon
PLEASANTON Fourth seeded Central Heights (12-10) won
their opening round matchup
against Maranatha Christian
Academy (9-11) win in convincing fashion, 59-41 before being
outmanned in the semifinal
matchup against Lyndon (23-0)
73-22.
Ethan Rowan put on a legendary performance in the
win over Maranatha Christian
Academy with what has to be
the best stat line in the history
of Viking basketball. Rowan
was just short of a quadruple
double and really not that far
off from an elusive quintuple
double. To put that into perspective how unbelievable that
is, it has only been known to
happen 3 times in high school
boy's basketball and never in
college or professional. Wilt
Chamberlin is believed to have
done it once in the NBA but that
was before steals and blocks
were an official stat.
Rowan tallied 24 points, 27
rebounds, 12 blocks, 9 steals
and 7 assists. That is just 1 steal
and 3 assists shy of legendary
status for one game.
Brylan Sommer added 15
points and 4 rebounds.
As mentioned earlier, the
Vikings season came to a
screeching halt in the semifinals as undefeated Lyndon
jumped out to a 33-11 halftime
lead and never looked back.
Lyndon would win the substate championship game
with an 84-31 triumph over
Uniontown (15-7). In the three
games, Lyndon outscored their
opponents 212-76. That's an
average margin of 46 points per
game.
Lyndon will be the topseed as 2A state kicks off on

unbelievable stat-line in their first
round 59-41 win over Marantha
Christian Academy. Ethan scored
24 points, had 27 rebounds, 12
blocks, 9 steals and 7 assists.
