Three-year delay leads to March 24 trial in shooting
Serial offender cops say
shot up car, residence finally
to have his day in court
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT Nearly three years after
police and prosecutors say jilted lover
William Vandenberg of Paola shot up
a car and a residence on 8th Avenue
occupied by his former girlfriend and
her new boyfriend and two children,
hell be tried on 16 related felony and
misdemeanor charges in a jury trial
scheduled for three days beginning
March 24th.
County attorney Steve Wilson
filed amended charges in the case on
Tuesday, including numerous aggravated assault counts, criminal possession of a weapon by a felon, criminal discharge of a firearm criminal
threat, criminal damage to property
and aggravated endangerment of a
child in connection with the April 2,
2022, incident.
Investigators say the 29 year-old
Vandenberg fired multiple rounds at
his former girlfriend's vehicle while
it was parked in the 700 block of West
8th Avenue, then allegedly fired additional rounds at the residence with the
individual and children inside. Joshua
Strutton, a witness believed to have
been one of the principal targets in the
attack, returned fire after his home
was fired upon and disabled the vehicle Vandenberg was
apparently driving.
Vandenberg fled the
scene, and days later
engaged in a bizarre
Facebook
rant
against the Garnett
Police Department
when officers posted
notice that he was a
Vandenberg
person of interest in
the incident.
Im not hiding nor have I from
anyone, the post on Vandenbergs
Facebook page read. This post is all
(deleted) and this is one of our many
reasons the justice system is (deleted). He was later taken into custody
without incident.
The shooting occurred in the early
hours of Saturday, April 2, the same
day as Anderson County High Schools
prom. School officials increased security for that evening event.
Vandenberg is a habitual violator
and convicted in 2021 of felony drug
possession, with an extensive adult
criminal record and juvenile court
charges dating back to 2011. He will
be arraigned on additonal separate
charges on his trial date for distribution of methamphetamine, a charge
also filed in April 2022 after his arrest
in the shooting incident.

Westphalia Day
set to make
July comeback
Dark since 2015, new
organizers plan rekindling
of historic county event
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
WESTPHALIA After a decade,
the beloved Westphalia Days festival is making a return, with a
plan once again to bring together
community members and visitors for a weekend of celebration
Westphalia style this coming July.
Media contact Katie Dieker
said a reconstituted Westphalia
Day Committee had set a date of
July 5 for the celebration, themed
Grown in Small Town America,
with the intent to honor the heart
of American agriculture and
community pride by showcasing
the spirit of small towns across
America.
Event highlights will nclude a
street dance, parade, 5K fun run/
walk, bingo, kids games, turtle
races, a car show, cornhole & volleyball tournaments, and other
activities to be announced. An official schedule will be announced
once finalized, Dieker said.
Westphalia Days is proudly
supported by local businesses,
organizations, and volunteers dedicated to bringing back this event
for future generations, Dieker
said. She said the committee also
has signature 2025 event t-shirts
for sale to help raise money for the
event. Donations for the event are
currently being accepted and can
be mailed to: Westphalia Days,

ACSO to add canine officer in June
Dog will aid tracking, drug
interdiction efforts without the
likely wait, McClain says
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT A new recruit to the
Anderson County Sheriffs Department
will have a real nose for the job.
Sheriff, a four year-old Dutch
Shepherd trained in German for
search and rescue and drug detection,
is expected to become an ACSO deputy
in June. Anderson County Sheriff Wes
McClain said the addition of the canine
was the initiative of Deputy Austin
Jones, whos also training as the dogs
handler.
McClain said Jones was able to procure commitments from local sponsors
to pay for the dog and its upkeep,
including a generous $16,500 donation
from Patriots Bank to cover the cost of
the dog and Jones training as its handler. Countryside Veterinary Clinic
agreed to provide health care for the
animal at no cost, and Brummel Farm
Service offered lifetime dogfood for the
program.
At Greeley, theyre wanting to do
golf tournaments and cornhole tournaments for fundraisers, Jones told
commissioners. This is something
that the communitys funding.
Dutch Shepherds are a high-energy,
athletic working dog bred originally as
herding dogs, typically with an adult
weight of 65-70 pounds and a lifespan
of 11-14 years. Their makeup demands
a need for the physical and mental
stimulation of field work and they
have have a strong protective instinct.
Experts caution owners unable to provide frequent stimulation and exercise
on a regular basis. Dutch Shepherds
are frequently used in police, military
and security work because of their
intelligence, trainability and protective instinct.
McClain said search or detection
canines available in the region could
be several hours away if a need arose
locally.
The presentation on the dogs introduction and its associated logistics
led to a lengthy discussion regarding
Jones driving a sheriffs department
patrol car to his home in Osawatomie
in his off hours something commissioners and previous sheriff Vern
Valentine prohibited for deputies and
county employees with the exception
of the county emergency management
director. McClain argued in this case
Jones would have to drive from his
home to the sheriffs office to pick up

Think tank sifts school assessment scores to form A-F school grades for 2023-2024
BY DAVID DORSEY
KANSAS POLICY INSTITUTE
WICHITA Utilizing the Kansas
Department of Educations school
assessment results data, the Kansas
Policy Institute has once again evaluated the state data to produce an A-F
Grading system for Kansas schools for
the 2023-24 school year.
A-F Grading is a one-stop destination to find out how virtually all of
Kansass public and private schools
are faring in a simple to understand
format. This new addition is based on
the results from the 2024 state assessments.
The 2024 A-F grading of Kansas public and private schools is now available
online. The digital version has detailed
information on over 1,300 public and
private schools for the past four years.
Letter grading is not something you
can obtain through KSDE. Despite the
fact that the feds prescribe KSDE to
publish a report card, the factors that
make up that report card are scattered about KSDEs website. More
importantly, there is no summary of
achievement at any particular school.
Achievement is measured and reported in terms the standard, below,
meets and exceeds vague definitions
that makes it seem like KSDE is trying
to hide the ball a bit.

OBITUARIES
Colony Christian Church Time to send Satan away
– Why should you die?
Brant and Danelle McGhee
led worship with the songs
"Awesome God," "Everlasting
God," "Gratitude" and "To the
Table." Mike and Isla Billings
accompanied with Petra
Billings on percussion and Ben
Prasko on keyboard. Danelle
read from Psalm 103, a psalm of
praise.
Brant McGhee gave communion meditation titled "Stay
with Me." We should slow
down our days and rest in the
Lord, listening to Him before
we hit that bump in the road.
We are given rest when we rest
in Him.
Pastor Chase Riebel gave
his sermon from Ezekiel 33
titled "Why Should You Die?"
Confession without repentance
still equals death. It tells us in
1st John 5:12 that if we believe
in Jesus Christ we are saved
but Romans 6:15 tells us that
we cannot continue to sin just
because we are under grace and
not the law. All who repent are
forgiven but repentance means
to turn away from wickedness
and no longer entertain sin.

WEEKLY DEVOTIONAL
BY DAVID BILDERBACK
ed and this cannot work. As I
said Satan knows our weakness
and is going to use whatever
means he can to expose it and
keep us subject to his temptations.
This is evident when Satan
attempts to tempt Jesus after
his forty day fast in the desert. Satan is attempting to get
Jesus to bow down to him by
telling him he can give him
all the kingdoms of the world
in all their splendor and he
can bypass the torture that lays
ahead of him at the cross. All
this I, (Satan) will give you if
you will bow down and worship
me. Jesus response to him
was,Away from me Satan!
For it is written, Worship the
Lord your God, and serve him
only. Until you send Satan
away he will always be between
you and God.
Ministry on the Holiness of God.

When I turned my chrome
book on the other night the
screen came up and it was very
dim. I immediately called my
tech support team in Iola and
after some confusion, caused by
me, the issue was resolved. It is
good to have a place to get help
when you need it. Sometimes
in life things can become dim
and blurry and we need help. It
happens to all of us. It is usually the result of us wanting to
please ourselves. Satan knows
our weaknesses so we need to
acknowledge that and take precautions. For example a recovering alcoholic or someone trying to quit smoking probably is
not going to find a lot of support
for their cause in places where
this goes on.
It is kind of like the fork
in the road, one way leads to
support the other way leads to
temptation. One way leads to
Jesus being Lord of your life
the other way allows Satan to
be lord of your life. You see we
chose a direction because that
is what our heart wants. God
is not going to hand us a map
with all the forks in the road of
life. God gave us free will and
will allow us to choose for ourselves. That is why so many
people struggle with their decisions. They have never made
a total commitment to receive
Jesus Christ as Lord of their
life. Their heart remains divid-

OPINION
Indignation drives Zelenskyy, fed deadbeats
Several years ago, Garnett City Manager
Chris Weiner decided to start asking city
department heads for a weekly run-down of
what theyd been up to the past week. The procedure has continued since Travis Wilsons been
in charge. Unlike the reaction by more than
a handful of federal employees recently when
asked to name five things they did at work the
past seven days none of the locals ever seem to
have gotten their panties in a wad over the idea.
Their acceptance countered what was an illuminating theme in other quarters of the country last week, from federal employees insulted
at being asked to justify their paychecks to
Volodymyr Zelenskyy biting the hand of the
Americans that saved Ukraines hide. It was
indignation of a stellar order, and the most disrespect of all was shown the American taxpayer.
Lets start with the federal insult.
Among military branches and larger organizations, an accountability procedure like the
one employed in Garnett is known as an operations report or ops memo, and in places where
one has to be accountable for ones participation
and responsibilities as part of a given mission,
its one of those things that makes American
organizations work. Workers who actually
embrace that mission understand the bosss
need to occasionally monitor all of its elements,
and they certainly understand the bosss right
to occasionally wonder if what youre doing is
worth the salary youre drawing.
So theres really no reason why that desire
to accomplish something to track and manage
progress shouldnt apply to the biggest and
most expensive taxpayer-supported bureaucracy on the planet. That is, if you have any modicum of respect whatsoever for the folks paying
your salary the American taxpayer.
Of course untold thousands of federal workers most likely complied with the directive
issued by efficiency volunteer Elon Musk at the
behest of President Trump and had no problem
coming up with five completed tasks. Others
lazy complainers who thought they were buried
far enough in the bureaucratic wood pile that
their lack of worth could never be uncovered
saw things differently according to the social
media posts they somehow managed time in
their busy schedules to produce and circulate.
That bizarre sense of entitlement was amplified in spades by Zelenskyy, who came to the
White House dressed like a blackout stagehand from CATS! The Musical and proceeded to

demand more cookies from Americas bakery,
and to do so with a chip on his shoulder pointed
at the one guy in America least likely to react
sympathetically to pushy beggars.
The utter audacity of copping a tude with the
leaders of the country whose taxpayer-funded
armaments literally kept you from dangling
at the end of a Russian rope it was a scene
that will have history-altering repercussions
and most likely will bring about the end of
Zelenskyys presidency.
Its also sadly indicative of the way Americans
are viewed by much of the rest of the world.
Whether its massive amounts of foreign aid
paid to countries rife with corruption that keeps
most of it from ever serving those for whom its
intended or NATOs defense umbrella stretched
over most of Western Europe disproportionately at Americas expense, there is a prolific attitude that the United States is a gigantic ATM,
stocked with unending supplies of cash by some
magical force.
Americans, however, are reminded who constitutes that magical force each April when our
income tax filing deadline rolls around.
Thats why every tax paying American
should be helping plan a ticker-tape parade for
Donald Trump for giving a damn about rooting
out the waste and abuse thats become such a
parasitic attachment to our nations fiduciary
profile. How nice it is to have a president who
actually sees the value in pulling the ticks off
the hound dog.
Whether youre drawing a federal salary or
getting a pallet of bullets, a little gratitude will
do were not expecting you to kiss anyones
ring. The chip on your shoulder, however
thats got to go. ###

Frustrating haters, Oval Office bru-ha could lead to peace
The real tragedy following last weeks meeting with Presidents Trump and Zelenskyy and
Vice President Vance, is not just that the Oval
Office quarrel derailed a peace effort that might
have stopped the killing in the Ukraine-Russia
war, but also that so many people are still working hard to keep the war from ending.
Why? Because they hate President Trump
more than they love peace.
The good news is that the spat between Trump
and Ukraine President Zelenskyy has brought
European leaders to the table; their increased
commitments to defense could bring a proposed
peace deal closer.
That is not how Trumps critics see it. They
blame the president for the rupture, of course.
Holdovers from the Obama and Biden White
Houses like former Deputy National Security
Advisor Ben Rhodes, former U.N. Ambassador
Susan Rice and former Secretary of State Hillary
Clinton, all of whom have criticized Trumps
peace proposal, do not want the president to succeed because a cease-fire deal would highlight
their failures. The Obama team allowed Russia
to slice off Crimea and invade other regions of
Ukraine with zero penalty, emboldening Putin
to strike again.
Bidens group failed to prevent Russias 2022
invasion and then never developed a plan to
end the war; they never spoke of actually winning. Even that hapless crew knew that Ukraine
would never triumph over Russia. At best they
hoped for a stalemate; but that modest goal
proved elusive, as Ukraine gradually, inevitably, lost territory while President Joe Biden and
Secretary of State Antony Blinken congratulated each other on uniting Europein defeat.
GUEST EDITORIAL
LIZ PEEK, FOX NEWS COMMENTATOR
Democrats do not want Trump to end the
war because they know that shutting down the
carnage and the outflow of U.S. money would be
wildly popular with voters. Almost certainly, a
peace agreement would help the GOP maintain
their control of Congress next year.
Never-Trumpers also hate the idea of success,
because they bet against a man who defied the
odds and won the popular vote last year. Liz
Cheney, who posted on X that Trump is busy
surrendering to a KGB butcher doesnt want
a win for Trump; opposing the 45th president
cost Cheney her political career. Senator Lisa
Murkowski of Alaska a state Trump won by
10 points claimed the Oval Office brawl made
her sick to her stomach; bucking the president
will almost certainly end her career, too.
Connecticut Democrat Sen. Chris Murphy,
who claims that the White House is an arm of
the Kremlin would hate to see Trump succeed.
He is desperate to become the Next Big Thing in
the leaderless Democratic Party, curiously positioning himself as an extreme anti-Trumper,
notwithstanding the presidents strong approval
ratings.
Murphy and other Democrats met with
Zelenskyy ahead of the Oval Office gathering,
reportedly coaching him to push back against
the proposed deal; they have blood on their
hands.
Some blame President Trump and Vice
President J. D. Vance for causing the rift. But
it is undeniable that the White House team who
gathered in the Oval Office did so expecting that
Zelenskyy was ready to sign a deal that would
lead to a ceasefire with Russia and ultimately
to peace. He had signaled agreement earlier
in Europe, but had insisted on traveling to the
White House to ink the pact.
But thenZelenskyy wanted to relitigate the
deal, in front of the media. This was not smart.
The irony is that the blowup in the Oval
Office may accomplish a principal ambition of
President Trumps: getting Europe to shoulder
a greater share of the Wests defense. There has
already been progress. NATO reports: Over the
past decade, European Allies and Canada have
steadily increased their collective investment
in defence from 1.43% of their combined GDP
in 2014, to 2.02% in 2024 Recent pronouncements from EU heads of state and U.K. Prime
Minister Keir Starmer suggest that more spending is likely.
Starmer, who recently met with President
Trump, says he thinks the commitment of the
U.S. president to peace is completely sincere

Just a glance tells us its time to go back to slut shaming
Any time I venture into public, Im increasingly convinced more people should have been
bullied as kids (of the swirlie variety, not the
I wish you were dead kind). Behind every
ill-adjusted adult who thinks ask me about my
pronouns buttons are rad or that perpetually
living in his moms basement is normal is a dork
who didnt get shoved into enough lockers for
weird behavior.
Public shaming would go a long way in phasing out all kinds of social ills. People should
be made to feel stupid for masking outdoors
or chomping popcorn with their mouths open
during quiet movie scenes (or loud ones). You
should feel the weight of a thousand disapproving eyeballs when you take your shoes off on
an airplane or go to the grocery store in buffalo-plaid pajama bottoms and Crocs.
But its not just things people do wear that
deserve scorn. Its also things they dont. Its
time to bring back slut shaming.
Before the feminists freak, Im not talking
about menacing strippers or blaming rape victims, so take a cleansing breath. Im talking
about normalizing the societal discouragement of looking like a hoe at work, at play, and
online.
Weve all seen it: a boob threatening to launch
out of athleisure wear or a pair of butt cheeks
popping out of some daisy dukes to bid passersby gday. Theres no such thing as underwear
anymore because anything can be outerwear.

and not just our eyes but the eyes of our husbands, dads, and kids. So lets introduce them to

Theres a clear Christian case for decency in
how men and women dress, but lest you think
our societal need for slut shaming is driven
by purity culture prudes, jealous ladies, or
misogynist men, it isnt. Modest may or may not
be hottest, but thats not the issue. When women
perpetually give away the goods under the guise
of empowerment, they give away the real sexual power of women everywhere and make
no mistake, women have sexual power men just
dont. Thanks to unlimited supply, value is in
freefall.
In 2018, Camille Paglia called it a flesh
parade, writing, The current surplus of
exposed flesh in the public realm has led to a
devaluation of women and, paradoxically, to
sexual ennui.
In other words, men are bored. Thanks to
all the female machinery on display every time
they open social media or walk outside, guys
like @gotsnacks_ are not excited no more. Im
bootied out. Yall have showed me so much a$$,
Im numb to it.
My colleague Madeline Osburn wrote about
this phenomenon four years ago, noting that
the devaluation of womens bodies hurts
women too. She said:
Before we were all bootied out, a womans
sexuality was not just mysterious and proactive, but the most powerful force on the planet.
It drove men to face great risks, cross oceans,
write ballads, and even start wars just for the
chance to gaze at a womans booty. Women held
all the cards in intimate relationships.
Not anymore. As long as the hoes have a
chokehold on society, theyve tipped ladies
hands.
For societal slut shaming to work, we need
to know who and what its for. Its not to shame
women for being sexy. Hello, thats kind of a
biological hazard. Its also not to meet one act of
inappropriateness with another. A young lady
who shows up to church in a crop top shouldnt

Saturday morning about 6
a.m. our citizens were aroused
by the ringing of the fire bell.
Little Tom Flynn was one of
the first to discover it and made
a run to the fire station. Three
large two-story brick buildings
on the north side of the square
were destroyed, two belonging
to Conway Mashall and one to
Henry J. Roeckers. Poor water
pressure impeded the efforts of
firemen to reach the tops of the
buildings with their firehose.

Henry Roeckers Store ran
numerous promotional contests over the years. On August
22, 1914 he had a drawing for
a new sewing machine. That
same day the store started
what may have been their biggest contest of all. It would be
a six month long contest with
many, many prizes, the grand
prize being a piano.
He had 29 contestants sign
up for the contest, prizes were
awarded by votes. Anyone
making a cash purchase
received 1 vote for every cent.
They then gave the votes to
the contestant of their choice.
At different times throughout
the six months the store ran
specials on different items
which would have bonus votes
attached.
110 years ago on Saturday
February 20, 1915 the votes
were tallied and the winners
announced. Mrs. Guy Brown
was the grand prize winner.
For a complete list of the
contestants and the winners

Anderson County YEC showcases youth business innovation
The Anderson County Youth
Entrepreneurship Challenge
(YEC), hosted by Anderson
County eCommunity, was held
at Troyer's Prairie Gold from
9:00 AM to 1:00 PM. This exciting event featured talented
youth from Anderson County,
ages 1318, as well as one student from Woodson County,
which does not have its own
competition.
The
eCommunity
Partnership, a NetWork
Kansas initiative, is dedicated
to fostering vibrant entrepreneurial ecosystems throughout
the state of Kansas. By collaborating with local communities, the Partnership provides
essential tools, expertise, education, and financial resources
to support community-driven
entrepreneurship and economic growth. The Anderson
County YEC is a prime example of how the Partnership
helps build local talent and
provides students with valuable, hands-on entrepreneurial
experiences.
The Anderson County YEC
competition highlighted student business plans, with participants judged on three key
components: the trade show,
elevator pitch & interview, and
executive summary. The goal
of the event was to encourage
broad thinking about business concepts, provide handson experience in professional communication, and give
students an opportunity to
present themselves in a professional manner while exploring
the various facets of running a
business.
Nine local business professionals and community leaders served as judges, scoring
each component and offering
valuable feedback. The trade
show was open to the public,
with a strong turnout and a
"People's Choice" award, which
was voted on by attendees.
Winners of the
Anderson County YEC
The competition concluded
with the announcement of the
winners, who were recognized
for their outstanding business ideas and presentations.

Viking woman finishes 2nd, both boys and girls battled tough
HAYS Central Heights
Vikings made some history over the weekend at the
wrestling state tournament
in Hays as female grappler
Ebony Hughes (110) finished
in 2nd place to become the first
Viking to place at state since
2003 and the highest placer in
school history. With the recent
inception of women's wrestling
in the state of Kansas, it has no
doubt set the standard in that
regard as well.
All 5 wrestlers (3 girls, 2
boys) at the state tournament
made it to day 2, which is a
pretty impressive feat as well.
Landry Sparks (100) won 2 of
her 4 matches, Julie Platt (140)
opened with a win before dropping her final 2.
For the boys, Royce Ulrich
(132) and Gage Peine (144) both
sandwiched their losses with a
win in their second matches.

seed) to end their season.
The Central Heights Lady
Vikings (9-10, 9th seed) tallied
just 28 points in their opening
round game of sub-state but
that was still enough to win by
double digits as they limited
Oswego (11-7, 8th seed) to just
18 points on the night.
It was an impressive effort
defensively as Oswego averaged 44 points per game entering the night and had won 11 of
their last 13 games after opening the season 0-5.
Central Heights led 6-4 after
the first quarter and just 12-11
at intermission.
Following the break, the
Vikings scored 8 in each of the

AC girls lose, AC boys
fall by 7 to Burlington
GARNETT The Anderson
County Boys dropped a hardfought battle for the substate
title match against Burlington
Wednesday night 60-53, and
Anderson County girls (4-15,
14th seed) lost in the opening
round of substate to Cherryvale
(15-4, 3rd seed) 58-24.
The Bulldog boys (14-6, 7th
seed) won in dominating fashion in their opening round
game 73-31 over Jayhawk-Linn
(9-11, 10th seed) last Friday.
AC held a brief lead over the
Wildcats in the 2nd period by
a single basket, but lost the
edge by the end of the first
half 25-23 and never regained
it. Burlington led by a 1-4 point
margin through most of the
third period before widening
the edge a bit to take the 7-point
win by the end of the clock.
Game stats werent available
by our presstime Wednesday.
Against Jayhawk-Linn, the
boy's team was led by Noah
Porter and Brayden Wheat as
they tallied 32 and 24 points
respectively.
Porter added 14 rebounds,
4 steals and 3 assists to his
impressive stat line.
Jack Dykes joined the duo
in double figures with 10
points and also pulled down 5
rebounds.
The only other scorers on
the evening were Aidan Steele
with 5 points and both Dylan
Hoffman and Brylan Sommer

time was to be determined as of
press time.
Crest boys upset in quarterfinals
COLONY Crest (15-4, 3rd
seed) had won 11 of their last 12
games but their run came to a
screeching halt at the hands of
Little River (12-6, 6th seed) on
their home court, 48-39.
Injuries played a part in the
disappointing finish, but that
doesn't make the defeat any
easier.
Crest rode the home momentum and led 14-12 after the
game's opening 8 minutes but
the host team seized control in
the second quarter to head into
the locker room leading 27-19
after a 15-5 advantage in the
period.
Little River continued to
control the game with a 13-7
advantage to open up a comfortable 40-26 lead heading into
the fourth quarter.
Crest battled hard throughout but just couldn't make a
serious run late despite outscoring Little River 13-8 in the
fourth quarter.
With the win, Little River
advances to play Oxford in
the sub-state championship in
Canton at Galva High School
on Saturday.

release rapist illegals on bail, refusing to turn them over to ICE
for deportation, prohibiting employers and landlords from refusing convicted rapists after they leave prison. Only dingbats still
vote Democrat.
Dane, I think instead of shipping a lot of them ICE prisoners
overseas and other places paying people, why dont we put them
in the Anderson County Jail? The county needs the money and
thatd be good guaranteed profits for the county. So I think they
ought to ship some over here. We got jail space. Thank you for
the time, Dane. Later.
Im an increasingly frustrated anti-Trump Republican, who in
light of recent developments wonders how long it would be until
Vladimir Putin becomes a Trump speechwriter.
I wish and I hope that sometime in the near future that they
would have an organization here like the Chain Of Hope where
they help out people that need help to take care of their animals.
Its an organization thats wonderful in the KC area. And I consider this is kind of the KC area, and it would be nice if thered be
a Chain of Hope here for people thats having a hard time taking
care of their animals. Thank you.

than flaunting or flattening
them. Play to those curves
without baring or androgenizing them. Show a bit of
skin but not most of it, just a
little something-something to
keep em guessing. When hoes
leave nothing to the imagination, they take what was once
intriguing and make it boring
instead. We cant let them get
away with it anymore.
If women want respect in
society, they must do their
part to raise their own value,
Paglia wrote. Stop throwing it
away on empty display.
Maybe not all women want
respect, but some of us still do.
So well do our part to raise
our value. Let the slut shaming
commence.

Bill would stop benefits
to illegal immigrants
February 28, 2025
After turnaround (the halfway point in session), most of
the work is happening in committees.
Stopping state benefits to
illegal aliens including in-state
tuition, Senate Bill (SB) 254,
drew a crowd for the committee
hearing. There was one proponent and over 20 opponents
that wanted to speak about
the bill. The committee rules
allow each side to speak the
same amount of time. Since
the proponents only had one
person speaking, AG Kobach
spoke for several minutes. The
opponents (those who want
benefits for illegals) were told
that not all of them would get
to speak, especially since there
were so many of them and the
first speakers used up a good
portion of the time. After time
was called, one of the opponents
started yelling and demeaning the committee and the
process. The Highway Patrol
was called to escort him out of
the room and the meeting was
adjourned. Thankfully, this is
extremely rare, and most people respect the rules and the
decorum at our Capitol. The
committee will work on the bill
in the next week or two.
U.S. Constitution Article
V speaks to allowing states to
convene and propose amendments to the U.S. Constitution.
Any proposed amendment
would have to be ratified by
38 of the states. The main difference in an Article V convention of states is that the
amendment originates from
the states, not in U.S. Congress.
All amendments have originated in Congress, never by using
Article V. However, there is
KANSAS LEGISLATURE
CARYN TYSON, 12th District Senate
a growing effort to make this
happen.
With President Trump in
office working to stop outof-control spending, there
doesnt seem to be the urgency
for an Article V amendment.
However, the next president
may be as reckless as previous
presidents, so I voted for Senate
Concurrent Resolution (SCR)
1604, calling for a convention.
The SCR passed the Senate 29
to 11. If the House passes SCR
1604, Kansas will be the 20th
state to pass this language. It
takes 34 for a convention to be
called.
Sales Tax Exemption Forms
would not be required for custom meat processing if the
person who owns the animal
is processing it for their own
consumption. Senate Bill 33
passed unanimously and was
sent to the House for consideration.
Firearms taken under
the Kansas Standard Asset
and Seizer Act could be sold
or transferred to a properly
licensed federal firearms dealer if SB 137 becomes law. It
passed 39 to 1. I voted Yes.
It is an honor and a privilege
to serve as your 12th District

GRADES…
FROM PAGE 1
KPI has taken the initiative to letter-grade schools.
And its all right here. As the
table shows, 1,248 schools were
graded based on the 2024 state
assessment. Only two schools,
one public Timber Creek
Elementary (USD 229) and
one private Brookridge Day
earned an A. Once again
this year, no high school in
the state (students are tested
in the 10th grade) earned an
A. On the other end of the
scale, 62 schools received an
F. Twenty-five of those are
high schools.
The A-F Grading system
is critical because it reveals
the real state of performance
of Kansas schools. While the
state board of education and
KSDE leads us to believe that
Kansas leads the world in the
success of each student, our

ysis of state-produced data tells
a much different story regarding student achievement. In
a world that is increasingly
distrustful of bureaucratic
government information (and
rightfully so), it is essential to
have independent voices like
KPIs to monitor and document
realities. A-F Grading continues to be one such resource.
This grading system began
in 2017 and has been produced
annually, save 2020 when
Governor Kelly shut down the
schools during the pandemic.
KPI employs state assessment results reported by KSDE
and translates raw scores
(which range from 220 to 380
for math and for English language arts ELA) into letter
grades. (A full methodology
outline, data, and definitions
is available on the A-F Grading
home page.) This process gives

The public education landscape continues to evolve, with
more school choice options
available to parents in many
states. Most recently, the state
of Tennessee signed into law
a sweeping school choice initiative allowing thousands of
parents to opt for alternatives
to traditional public schools.
This school choice phenomenon was bolstered by needless
school closures as a response to
COVID-19; thankfully few districts in Kansas stayed closed
for as long as those in major
cities. Nevertheless, the harm

People are hungry for a
change, especially those who
feel stuck in underperforming
schools. But the question is,
where does one go to find out
how any school in the state is
actually performing?
A-F Grading continues
to provide opportunities to
explore questions surrounding the issue of school performance. Why do some schools
continue to out-perform others? Why does the education
establishment continue to
lobby fiercely against parental freedom to choose the best
educational opportunities for
their children? Why doesnt the
elected leadership at the state
level recognize the sorry state
of student achievement and
provide those options?

but that the minerals deal on
its own will not guarantee
Ukraines security. He has
offered increased support and
boots on the ground. If France
and Germany also step up, a
comprehensive, strong agreement could result.
The proposal from President
Trump, which entails the U.S.
partnering with Ukraine to
exploit that countrys minerals and rare earths, has
been described by Treasury
Secretary Bessent as an elegant solution. It would accomplish these objectives:
-The partnership would
allow Ukraines valuable
resources to be developed.
Ukraine cannot manage such
an undertaking on its own,
since it lacks both the money
and know-how to do so. The
U.S. could provide both.
-Money from the mining and
production of these resources
would be available not just to
repay the U.S. taxpayer, but
also to the repair of Ukraine,
which has been shattered by
three years of war.
-American voters will support our continued involvement with Ukraine if they see
some dividends; Congress will
follow their lead.
– Large-scale U.S. investment
in Ukraine will deter Vladimir
Putin from invading the
country, knowing Americans
will be willing and eager to
defend their property. That
is the backstop that critics
of the deal refuse to acknowl-
edge. However, a European
peace-keeping force adds more
protections.
-The arrangement provides
U.S. security without putting
boots on the ground.
– The proposed scheme has
the added advantage of lessening U.S. reliance on China.
While Democrats are quick to
accuse Trump of policies that
favor Putin, few have explained
why Joe Biden insisted on energy diktats that clearly deepen our dependence on China.
Pushing the U.S. towards electric vehicles or solar panels
meant greater imports of critical materials from our number one enemy. Being able to
source some of those ingredients from a friendly nation
would be a win.
