Row over Roe
takes a bead
on Kansas
Locals will cast decisive vote on
amendment amid clamor over federal
abortion ruling during August primary
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
WASHINGTON, D.C. Anderson County women
sought and received only 6 abortions in 2021, but the
weight of the August vote for a state constitutional
amendment dubbed Value Them Both will no doubt
intensify the issue
locally and statewide with bombshell news last
week that the U.S.
Supreme Court
may be planning
to nullify the landmark ruling guaranteeing a constitutional right to
abortion in Roe v.
Wade.
With federal
provisions in Roe
struck down, the decision on restrictions to abortion
would revert to each of the 50 states. In a nutshell, if
Value Them Both passes and the Supreme Court
decision to nullify Roe is made official, Kansas lawmakers will find themselves in the trenches of determining the ultimate abortion laws that will determine
the policy in Kansas for the first time since 1973.
If the state amendment fails, regardless of the future
of the U.S. Supreme Court ruling, abortion would
remain legal in Kansas because the nullification of Roe
v. Wade would place regulation of abortion entirely
back to individual states.
Dynamics of the abortion debate in the country
were broadsided last week by a leaked draft opinion
from SCOTUS written by Justice Samuel Alito that
showed the court, at least in the draft, was poised to
strike down the ruling that asserted protections for
abortions nationwide. Legal scholars have attacked
the Roe decision for decades on the grounds that it
lacked basis in constitutional law, but the ruling was
the law of the land for nearly 50 years.
The Kansas amendment vote, set for the primary
election this coming August, stems from a 2019 Kansas
Supreme Court decision which determined the right
to abort a pregnancy was a personal right protected
inherently by the Kansas Constitution. That ruling as
well was attacked for lack of constitutional basis by

Unequal protection Kwikom acquires Valnet/TelXP in regional tech deal
KSHSAA protects public schools from
private school competition, but not female
athletes from boys Y chromosome
BY DAVID HICKS
THE SENTINEL
TOPEKA The Kansas
State High School Activities
Association
(KSHSAA)
allows transgender biological males to compete against
biological girls, but it draws
the line at public schools
having to compete with private
schools.
In the 2020-2021
school year private
schools in Kansas,
while accounting for less
than 8% of all high schools,
won a remarkable 36% of
all state championships in
which they were eligible to
compete.
As a result, KSHSAA
recently adopted a proposal
for a private school modifier which seeks to even the
playing field by moving a
handful of private schools to
a higher classification.
Last school year, schools
were classified from 1A (12107 enrollment) to 6A (13282371).
The multiplier, which
artificially increases enroll-
ment for classification purposes only, is based on three
factors and works this way:
First, every private
school begins with a multiplier of 1.0, its actual enrollment. If that school won 5-9
state championships over
the previous five years, it

County besting last years
retail sales so far in 2022
TOPEKA Though the cent sales tax charged on
retail goods sold in the City of Garnett saw an overall decrease according to figures released for April,
Anderson Countys retail sales are running slightly
ahead for the year.
Figures released by the Kansas Department of
Revenue showing sales tax distributions to local taxing entities in April reflect sales made in Febuary,
tax for which was remitted by retailers in March and
distributed to localities the following month. Year-todate figures also reflect actual sales made two months
prior.
The April figures show Garnett tax remittances
down 3 percent to $19,394 and with a year-to-date loss
of 1.2 percent to $85,890.
By contrast, Anderson County, which adds a 1.5
percent tax to local sales, reflected a 2.6 percent loss

You will only find yourself
fighting against God
In the 5th chapter of Acts
we read how the apostles
were persecuted by the
Sadducees, a religious sect
who opposed Jesus during
his ministry and were
known for their denial of
the bodily resurrection.
Since the resurrection the
apostles had been standing
in the temple courts telling
the people the full message
of this new life. (5:20) The
high priest and his associates
as well as the Sadducees were
filled with jealously. It was
at this time that they arrested
the apostles and put them in
jail, only to find them released
by an angel of the Lord the
next morning.
When the
apostles were brought before
the Sanhedrin a second time
Peter and the apostles reply
to the charge was, We, (the
apostles) must obey God rather than men.(5:29 b) When
the Sadducees heard this they
were furious and wanted the
apostles put to death.
In an effort to calm the
situation Gamaliel, a teacher of the law who was well
respected by all the people
stood and requested the disciples be put outside the room.
He then explained to the Men
of Israel to consider carefully
what they intended to do to
the apostles. Gamaliel then
reminded them that Theudas
and Judas the Galilean were
two men who had appeared and
led a band of people in revolt.
Both men were killed and their
followers soon were scattered.
Gamaliels advise to the ruling
council was to, Leave these
men alone! Let them go! For
if their purpose is of human
origin, it will fail. But if it
is from God, you will not be
WEEKLY DEVOTIONAL
BY DAVID BILDERBACK
able to stop these men; you will
only find yourselves fighting
against God.
Will live in the biblical
age referred to as the age of
Grace, which will exist until
the second coming of Christ. It
is a time when one either lives
to please God or lives fighting
against God. A no decision on
the matter is not possible and
leaves you in the latter group.
In the book of Jeremiah
written in approximately 600
B.C. God reveals his plan for
man. For I (God) know the
plans I have for you declares
the LORD, plans to prosper
you and not to harm you, plans
to give you hope and a future.
(29:11) If your plans are based
on human origin they will
fail. All the religious sects of
Israel ultimately failed and are
forgotten. But if your plans
are of God they will succeed.
What the apostles started will
never be stopped. Christianity,
although persecuted and
maligned will remain till we
see Christ return in his second
coming.

FEBRUARY 5, 1942 – APRIL 30, 2022
Don Wesley Stockton, 80, of
Garnett, Kansas passed away
on April 30, 2022 at his home
with his family beside him.
Don was
born
on
February
5, 1942 in
Garnett. He
was the only
child of Sam
and
Ruth
Stockton
(Van Horn)
Stockton. Don
graduated from Garnett High
School in 1960. He went on to
work for the state of Kansas
Highway Department. In 1962,
Don and his good friend, Ray
Frazier enlisted in the United
States Navy. They joined
because of the buddy system,
however they never saw each
other after boot camp until
they were discharged. Don was
a Vietnam veteran, serving as a
crew chief for F4 fighter planes
on the USS Constellation.
When not at sea, Don worked
as an airplane mechanic on the
various bases at which he was
stationed. In June 1966, he was
honorably discharged. Dons
service to his country grew in
importance to him as he got
older.
In the fall of 1965, Don met
Sandy Koehler in the bar at
Greeley, Kansas. They were
married on October 1, 1966.
Don and Sandy had two children, daughter Amy was born
in February 1969 and son Mike
in July 1973.
After the service, Don went
to work for his parents at
Stockton Furniture. He bought
the business in 1973 and ran it
with his wife, Sandy, and parents until 1986 when they sold
the building.
Don was a substitute mail
carrier for many years and
drove an ambulance part-time.
He went to work full time as a
Rural Mail Carrier in 1986. It
was a job perfectly suited for a
man who loved to drive around
in the country, check the fields
and look for wildlife.
Don was a volunteer firefighter, member of the
American Legion and advocate
of American Legion Baseball
with his friend Lee Miller for
many years.
Being outside in the timber,
cutting firewood, and hunting was where Don was most
happy. He took pride in sharing his love of the outdoors
with his family, especially his
grandchildren. He and son,
Mike developed an especially
close bond hunting together
along with his father Sam and
eventually his grandsons, Sam
and Synjin.
Don and Sandy followed
Mikes college playing career,
where he was a member
of the Ottawa University
Baseball team. They traveled
the country and made many
close friendships with coaches, players and families. After
Mike became the head baseball
coach at William Jewell, Don
went on to travel extensively with the team, riding the
bus, eating meals with them
and entertaining the players
with his stories. Even when
Don was unable to attend in
person, he followed the games
on the computer and waited
for Mikes phone calls so they
could rehash the games.
Dons love for and pride in
his family were what gave him
joy, purpose and an incredible
will to live. His wife, Sandy,
their daughter, Amy, son-inlaw, Rob Miller and grandchildren Sam and Grace and
their son Mike, daughter-inlaw Cindy and grandchildren
Synjin and Sadie were the most
important to him. He attended
their games, family events and
parties and looked forward to
seeing them and hearing about
anything they were doing. Don
enjoyed a particularly close
relationship with his nephew,
Allen Pickert. His other great
love was his dogs, some of his
favorites were, hunting dogs,
King and Bo, and his house
dog, Ruby. Through the years,
he always had a dog by his side.
Don was blessed with many
lifelong friendships, he was
especially close to Rick Horn
and Ray Frazier. His friendship with Rick lasted 75 years
and with Ray since high school.
He spent many hours helping
friends farm and spending time
with them at the Oasis and
at Millers Garage. Eventually,
some of that group of friends
met at Dons home where they
spent afternoons together in
his driveway, sitting under the
trees or on the picnic table in
the backyard and at friend Ray
Fraziers garage.
Don was preceded in death
by his parents.
He is survived by wife of
55 years, Sandy of the home,
daughter, Amy StocktonMiller and husband, Rob
Miller, grandson, Sam Miller,
granddaughter, Grace, all of
Leavenworth, Kansas; son,
Mike Stockton and wife, Cindy
and grandchildren Synjin and
Sadie of Kearney, Missouri.

of her grandchildren. Shirley

Manufacturing in Ottawa as
well as 20 years at King Radio
in Paola where she learned the
skill of soldering. She would

with the harvest two years
later. He served in Germany
during the Korean Conflict.
Upon the death of his father
in 1952 George was Honorably
Discharged from the United
States Army, and returned to
the family farm.
He rekindled his romance

couple would go on to have
ten children: Angela (Kevin),
George (Cheryl), Timothy,
MaryAnn, Kathleen (Ryan),
Stephen, James (Judy), John

other companies. He retired

Degree Member of the Knights
of Columbus. For many years,
George and Rosemary served
in the pre-marriage counseling
services for the Archdiocese of
Kansas City, Kansas.
George and Rosemary loved
traveling, making new friends
everywhere they went. In their
60 years, they visited most
of the States. As parents of
younger children, their primary mode for vacationing was
their camping trips. George
and Rosemary kept their love
of travel alive, wearing out
maps and watching every travel show available to them.
In 2013, with the passing of
his wife Rosemary, he lost the
love of his life. George turned
to the social activities of the

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, May 10, 2022
OPINION
Overturning Roe may save the Union
The recent revelation that the Supreme Court
of the United States may end the Roe v. Wade
decision even if it does not end abortion has the
nation redrawing lines and questioning how
such an announcement could be leaked from the
court, but none of that is as important as how
this decision might just save the United States
of America.
There will never be agreement on the abortion issue. No matter how much some of us
want the procedure to be illegal and others who
believe it is an absolute right of a mother no
matter how healthy the baby may be, the battle
over the issue isnt as much about the morality
of the practice as much as it is about who has
jurisdiction.
Roe V. Wade made abortion legal, albeit with
certain restrictions, across the entire nation, a
step that extended federal authority.
If the leaked early version of the SCOTUS opinion tells us anything, it is that some justices
believe the Constitution does not address abortion, and if it does not, then the Constitution is
clear those issues are left to the states.
The problem we are seeing in America today
is an effort to federalize this and every issue.
This forces us to have to agree on everything,
which leads to hyperpartisanship.
Take a look at how education has declined
since the federal No Child Left Behind initiative. The intention was good, but trying to get 50
states to produce the exact same graduate has
proven to be an utter failure.
Believing that all of America has the same
view on abortion is another example of federal
tyranny.
America was a much more peaceful and
accepting nation when we had 50 autonomous
states who dealt with the issues facing their
state as they saw fit.
The best form of government is local, and we
have seen the attempts to federalize issues that
ought to be left to the states has not solved anything.
President Lyndon Johnson tried to eliminate poverty with his Great Society initiative.
Instead, he created the inner city ghettos that
are continuing to fail poor people 60 years later.
The movement for civil rights didnt fall
under this category. Civil rights are inalienable
rights. They are listed in the Constitution and
addressed in various amendments. Protection of
civil rights is a local, state and federal responsibility.
Not every issue meets that standard a
Constitutional standard.
That doesnt mean it becomes illegal, but it
does mean states can decide for themselves.
Take the use of marijuana as an example.
KANSAS COMMENTARY
EARL WATT, THE LEADER & TIMES
Some states are legalizing its use while others
continue to treat it as an illegal drug. Thats
how America is supposed to work. There arent
protests in Washington, D.C. trying to legalize
marijuana because states have regulated its use.
The more we allow states to address the challenges of our society, the less we will be at each
others throats nationwide.
It is not my place as a Kansan to dictate to
California how it should conduct its schools,
traffic laws or whether or not dogs should be
licensed. Nor is it the place of a Californian to
tell me how those should be regulated in Kansas.
The road to saving the United States is a
return to state sovereignty rather than federal
mandates and takeovers.
The city of Palm Springs, Calif., is using nonprofit cash to provide monthly income to those
who identify as transgender, anywhere for $600
to $900 per month. I find that to be asinine. I
would not vote for one of those city commissioners. But thats up to the people of Palm Springs,
not me.
We seem to remember we are a democracy,
where majority rules, but forget we are a republic, a group of states with guaranteed personal
liberties. The founders were just as concerned
about an all-powerful federal government as
they were of a king. Thats why they limited the
power of the federal government and made sure
statehood mattered.
If we back up and look at the possibility that
the SCOTUS may return authority back to the
states, this is good for both political parties.
Wherever each has a majority, they can properly represent the people of that state.
Decisions like these will take the temperature
down from the heated halls of Congress and
allow states to establish the society of the people. And 50 different approaches just might be
enough to save the Union.

As far as the city taking over old residences

a good idea. The mayor is against it because
he has friends with properties such as 4th &

Awareness can prevent tragedies in mental health
Around my home of Kentucky, the month
of May represents many good things. Festive
Kentucky Derby events, graduation ceremonies, delicious strawberry picking, and a welcome transition from cold and dreary weather
to warm and sunny weather.
The Kentucky Derby lasts two minutes,
graduations last about two hours or so, strawberry picking is available for a month, and
pleasant spring weather quickly gives way
to our Ohio Valley three Hs: hazy, hot, and
humid. Unfortunately, many people are experiencing an extended emotional winter of
their lives as they battle mental health issues.
May is Mental Health Awareness Month
and its purpose, beyond raising awareness,
is to educate the public, fight stigma, and
advocate for policies that support people with
mental illness and their families. As I write
this, news is breaking that we have just lost
Kentucky-born country music legend Naomi
Judd to mental illness at age 76. A statement
by her family reads: Today we sisters experienced a tragedy. We lost our beautiful mother
to the disease of mental illness.
The vision for mental health awareness is
to eliminate preventable tragedies such as this
and to assist those affected by mental illness to
receive appropriate support and live healthy

and fulfilling lives.
Mental health is an essential component of
overall health and shocking statistics reveal
that 21% of adults in the United States live
with a mental health condition and that 46%
will meet the criteria for a diagnosable mental
health condition at some point in life.
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of
Mental Disorders (DSM) provides a five-axis
system of understanding mental disorders and
it is important to seek licensed professional
help if needed to be able to name and tame
a disorder you may be experiencing. I call it
a check-up from the neck up, and the need
has increased during the over two years we
have been dealing with COVID. The National
Alliance on Mental Health (NAMI) states that
1 in 5 people report that the pandemic has had
a significant negative impact on their mental
health.
There is also increasing awareness of the
need for more mental health care for our
children and NAMI reports that depression,
anxiety, and suicide among young people are
at a record level. The American Academy of
Pediatrics, The American Academy of Child
and Adolescent Psychiatry, and The Childrens
Hospital Association jointly declared a national childrens mental health emergency last
year, which is a call to action for all of us to
work to create a legacy of good mental health
for the generations that follow us.
We can advocate for increased mental
health services in our schools while exercising the ultimate responsibility for our childrens overall health and education at home
by actively engaging them in age-appropriate
conversations about the state of our world and
how to still find joy and meaning in times of
chaos. Smooth seas produce poor sailors and it

Abortion obsession drives assault on Supreme Court
Despite what you might have learned in
high school civics, the Supreme Court really
only has one role in our system of government
— to uphold Roe v. Wade.
Thats the animating sentiment behind the
furor over the leak of a Supreme Court opinion drafted for a majority by Justice Samuel
Alito overturning the abortion decision.
Left-wing commentators have hailed the
shocking leak of the opinion and said that the
Court deserves to be burned down and even
ended altogether for the offense of finding no
constitutional warrant for one of the courts
most controversial and consequential decisions of the last half-century.
The leak, assuming its legitimate (theres
little reason to doubt it) and assuming it came
from someone on the left of the court (which
seems most likely), is a brazen breach of the
Courts rules in an attempt to sabotage its
deliberations.
The Court has been one of the few institutions in our national life that has managed
to maintain a measure of self-respect and
integrity. Its oral arguments arent televised,
which always tempts people to play to the
cameras. The arguments are invariably civil
and substantive, even if intense — in contrast
to what is heard on cable news, social media,
or on the floor of Congress. The Court has honored confidentiality as it considers a case and
justices write and share their opinions among
one another.
The leaker, whether a justice, a clerk or a
staffer, clearly intended to engender a huge
reaction to try to intimidate a member of the
majority into changing his or her mind.
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
RICH LOWRY, King Features Syndicate
This is how hardball politics works in
Congress or in the executive branch, where
strategic leaks are the norm and very often
no one trusts nobody. Its completely inimical
to the spirit of the Supreme Court, which is
supposed to decide its cases as a strict matter
of law free of political influence.
Tellingly, almost no one on the left criticized the leak. Instead, many praised it as an
act of brave defiance that reflects the gravity
of the moment.
This is yet another sign of the hypocrisy of
all the Trump-era lectures from progressives
about the importance of norms and neutrally
applied rules. As soon as a Supreme Court
decision might go against them, they abandon all pretense of believing any of that and
attempt to bludgeon the Court into submission.
The leak, in its own way, brings home how
one of the key assumptions in the Courts
abortion jurisprudence has been wrong all
along. It imagined itself settling once and for
all a highly contested social issue. In reality,
by attempting to take the issue out of politics,
it made the fight over abortion even more
divisive, while making itself a political football. Now, the issue that it sought to settle has
blown back on the Court, perhaps changing
how it operates forever.
The leak speaks of the desperation of
pro-abortion forces to preserve Roe, and its
guarantee of a radically pro-abortion regime
everywhere in the United States. It doesnt
matter if it requires a breach of trust at the
Supreme Court — indeed, for many of them,
the Court as we know isnt worth having if it
doesnt uphold Roe.
Never mind if, as Alitos draft opinion
devastatingly demonstrates, theres no constitutional basis for Roe whatsoever.
The leak must fail. The Supreme Court
justices in the prospective majority should
get 24/7 security in case the intimidation campaign reaches another level. Alitos opinion,
assuming its final and speaks for a majority,
should be released as soon as possible — to
send a message that the Court isnt going to
bend to pressure. And everything possible
should be done to ferret out and punish the
leaker.
The Supreme Courts loyalty isnt to Roe,
but to the Constitution, and it can show it by
issuing the Alito opinion that its critics want
to foil by any means necessary.

go to Washington, D.C., and get all the bull****
there is because its probably free. Thank you.
Yes, I think the newspaper had a real good
example of an abandoned property on the front
page of the paper about the story on the city
taking them over, but what should also be put
out there besides the abandoned properties are
the ones that look abandoned but there are still
people living in them. I dont know if these are
slumlord properties or lazy or poor or what. I
know there are people that dont have money
to keep their places up but a lot of them seem to
have money to fill their yard up with abandoned
kids toys and old cars and other trash. Ive lived
in this town 60 years and I have never seen some
of these places where people are actually living
look any sorrier than they do now. I think thats
a bigger problem than the abandoned ones.
Thank you.
Too often we want to simplify everything.
Reduce it to black and white. Because if its
black and white we dont have to think about it
or talk about it, we just pick a side. There arent
a whole lot of things in life that are black and
white. If its important, take time to think about
it and talk about it especially with others who
tend to have a different opinion.

As I stated in last weeks column my up coming columns
will consist of photos of individual artifacts found at the
two sites I'm presently working
at.
Most of these artifacts have
appeared in group photos, but
not individually.
The first two photos are excellent photos of fresh water clam
shell or what are often
referred to as "Motherof-Pearl " buttons. This
particular button shows
damage between the
two holes, but otherwise perfect.
The other photo took quite
awhile researching, but I finally was able to identify it in a
early 1800's Sears catalog. It is
known as a baby's bib pin.
It actually sold for $.10.
I'm wondering if it was used
mainly as a decorative piece

it takes teamwork between
parents, the schools and the
community to help children
and all our vulnerable citizens
to navigate the difficult waters
in life that we are all traversing.
In the very best of times, our
biologically evolved brains are
superglue for the negative and
Teflon for the positive because
of our evolutionary fight, flight,
or freeze response that helped
our ancestors live another day
to have lunch instead of being
lunch for predators.
We are living in a mean-spirited age with too many of us
choosing to walk over each
others hearts with football
cleats and infusing nasty and
toxic reactions to our cascade
of challenging just when we
should be supporting each
other more than ever and it is
so easy for us to immerse in the
negative. Krishnamurti said,
It is no measure of health to
be well-adjusted to a profoundly sick society. But I would
argue that it is our duty to stay
supportive, compassionate,
loving, hopeful, and even pos-
itive alongside what seems to
be a great acceleration toward
giant leaps off the cliff of civility to help change our society.
The macro changes always
start with all of us individually
in the micro and it takes courage to be proactive.
During this month of May
and all year, it is important to
do what we can to support those
among us who are struggling
with mental health challenges
and continue to develop inner
resources inside ourselves to
be able to best handle the daily
crises of epic proportions and
the self-inflicted tiny tortures
we are facing. The challenge is
to regain equilibrium and create a sustainable and responsible outlook to weather our
current zeitgeist with wholehearted love and compassion
and caring for others.
In the myth of Pandora, hope
only appears after all possible
troubles have been unleashed
upon the world. It will take
ongoing daily commitment to
actively pull weeds and plant
flowers in the gardens of our
minds and support and encour-

threshold times. Faith is the
profound acceptance that life

things you cannot change, the
courage to change the things
you can, and the wisdom to
know the difference and then
take action and do what is necessary for ourselves and others.

The Leaving in Legacy
Jackie Mundt, Pratt County
farmer and rancher
The saying, farmers never
retire, they farm until they
die, is accurate for my paternal grandfather.
Grandpa turned 95 this winter and outside a short Navy
deployment at the end of World
War II, he has farmed all his life.
He is the picture of work ethic
and steadfastness: employed
full-time at a paper mill while
milking cows every day for
40-plus years of his life. In the
early 2000s, grandma decided it
was time for them to retire and
sell milking heard, but grandpa
continued as a crop farmer to
fill time.
Last fall grandpa made the
somewhat surprising decision
to take a step back from farming due to his declining mobility. He has had less ability for
physical work over the last 10
years, spending most of the
time making management decisions and then supervising
my dads and uncles work.
The irony of grandpa passing management to the next
generation is that my 60+ year
old dad is starting to farm after
having retired from a 35-plusyear career at paper mill himself.
My familys situation is a
fairly typical farm transition.
Our farm population is aging,
with the average at 57.5 years
old and steadily climbing and
the average age of a beginning
farmer is 46.5 years old.
When farmers never retire,
they run the risk of their family
and business suffering through
turmoil when they die. This
potential has made estate and
succession planning a common
topic for workshops at just
about every farm conference in
the last decade or two.
Thankfully many farmers
have heard these messages
and taken steps to plan for how
their assets will be protected
through this transition. Even
though my grandpa is still
farming, he has had his estate
affairs settled for more than a
decade.
But assets are only part of
a farms ability to succeed and
thrive. Knowledge, judgement
and the experience required to
run a successful business can
be the hardest things to pass to
a successor. The real power of
succession planning comes in
knowing how people and businesses will thrive without you.
A driver for Marc and my
decision to join his familys
farming operation was legacy. We want to work with his
family to grow and safeguard
the farm and one day pass
it on to future generations.
Transitioning to the farm has
revealed a pivotal paradigm
shift for me about how plan
and support succession.
Apprenticeship is a common succession approach with
observation, assigned tasks and
discussions with the current
manager. There is value in this
approach but it falls short when
people spend too long in this
phase.
Marc doesnt work for his
family, he works with them. His
dad has intentionally stepped
back from management responsibilities to provide space for
Marc to run the business. His
dad is an on-site mentor coaching and giving advice. There is
no question about will Marc be
ready, he has the responsibility
now.
Marcs dad isnt just showing faith and support, he is displaying love for his family and
legacy by doing everything in
his power to ensure they are
prepared and protected for a
future without him. It sounds
so simple but it feels radical.
Powerful emotions are
tied to uncertainty of what
the future holds for what we
have lovingly built with blood,
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, May 10, 2022

sweat and tears. A powerful
succession plan requires caring enough about something to
overcome these fears and build
so strong that it wont fail without you.
Leaving a legacy requires
leaving. Take time now to plan,
support and build the things
you love for a future beyond
you.

Bulldogs win 16th straight, sweep Santa Fe Trail
CARBONDALE
The
Anderson County Bulldogs
steamrolled the Santa Fe Trail
Chargers last Tuesday on the
road, outscoring them 23-2 in
a two game sweep.
In the opening game, the
Bulldogs won 15-1 in 5 innings.
Braden Blaufuss and Derek
Rockers each had 3 hits to
pace Anderson County.
Blaufuss led the team with
4 runs batted in and scored
twice.
Rockers chipped in driving
in 3 runs and was also the
starting pitcher, pitching all
5 innings, allowing 4 hits, 0
earned runs and struck out 12.
In the late game, Anderson
County won the contest 8-1,
propelled by 5 runs in the top
half of the first inning.
Dallas Kueser, Kyle Belcher
and Dalton Kellerman spearheaded the attack with 2 hits
each in the game.
The trio of Rockers, Belcher
and Kellerman all drove in 2
runs in the game.

Vikings drop pair to Osage City
OSAGE CITY – Last Tuesday,
the Central Heights Vikings
dropped both games of a doubleheader to the Osage City
Indians.
In the first game, the Vikings
were blanked 10-0.
According to the home team,
it was a six inning no-hitter but
the Vikings thought differently
and recorded a lone single by
Ethan Rowan.
The Indians scored 3 runs
in the first, second and sixth
inning and scored one more in
the fourth.
Laiken Brockus and Luke
Burkdoll pitched in the game.
Brockus went 3 innings,
allowed 7 hits and 4 innings
while Burkdoll went 2 innings,
allowed 2 hits, 6 runs and 3
earned runs in 2 innings.
Osage City got off to a hot
start in the second game scoring 3 runs in the bottom of the
first and second innings.
The Vikings scored one in
the first and 2 more in the second but were still facing a 6-3
deficit after just 2 innings. The
only other run scored in the
game was one run in the top
half of the fifth inning.
Max Cannady picked up a
pair of hits to lead the Vikings.
Connor Peel had just one hit,
but scored the games only run
with a 5th inning homer.
again led by Connor and Cody.
Connor not only lowered his
3200m time by nine seconds,
he ran a very strong leg on the
4×800 to help that team to victory, said Prosser.
Although the storms threw
a wrench into training and
competition plans for several
days, it was great to see the
freshmen and sophomores continuing to make waves regardless of where we go and who
we compete against. With that
concluding our regular season schedule, we next head
to West Franklin for the Flint
Hills League championships,
Prosser added.
student body to 1,169 from its
reality of 668.
The KSHSAA proposal faces
three hurdles before its enactment. It must be approved by
a majority of its 354 members,
including a majority in each of
the states six high school classifications. Next, the Kansas
State Board of Education must
sign off on the idea. Finally, the
State Legislature must act to
amend State Statute 72-130/727114.
In its complicated effort to
restore competitive balance in
high school athletics to benefit public schools; in effect,
punishing successful private schools by forcing them
into higher classifications to
compete against much larger
schools, an interesting issue
emerges:
KSHSAA allows transgender
athletes to compete against
biological girls
KSHSAA did not come to
the rescue of high school girls
when it had the opportunity to
do so during the last two legislative sessions. The organization took no position on Senate
Bill 160 sponsored by Wichita
Republican Renee Erickson,
which sought to ban transgender athletes from competing
against biological girls. In fact,
the governing body for high
school athletics has adopted a
transgender policy.
Erickson is critical of the
KSHSAA.
It is incredibly ironic that
the KSHSAA is attempting
to level the playing field
between public and private
schools while completely ignoring their blatantly unfair policy of allowing biological males
to compete in womens sports.
If they truly cared about fairness for all Kansas student-athletes, they would admit they
are wrong, correct the policy,
and ensure a level playing field
for girls. Until then, their cries
for fairness ring hollow.
Ericksons bill was passed
this year by both the House
and Senate but was vetoed by
Governor Laura Kelly. The
Senate override the veto, but
the House failed to do so by
three votes.
KSHSAA Executive Director
Bill Faflick defends the decisions of his organization.
As an association of member schools, we follow policies
approved through our governance structure. This governance protocol includes leadership comprised of school
administrators and stakeholders from across the state
and will eventually determine
whether the proposed amendment to our classification system is necessary to achieve the
fairness desired.
Only the first step of a
process was realized at our
recent Board of Directors
meeting. The decision to send
the item under consideration
for the next step was based
upon recent historical data
(that) would show the private
schools win a greater percentage of championships when
compared to the percentage of
membership comprised by private schools.
Relative to transgender
participation, recent data does
not suggest an imbalance of
success and our membership
continues to follow a policy
adopted approximately ten
years ago. Accordingly, the
KSHSAA remained neutral on
this particular legislation proposed by Sen Erickson.
The transgender issue will
doubtless be revisited next year
in the legislature. Supporters
of Sen. Ericksons bill see no
multiplier available that levels the playing field for girls
competing against biological
males.
unknown who leaked the document or why.
Abortion satistics for
Kansas compiled by the
Kansas Department of Health
& Environments Division of
Public Health support the criticism by abortion opponents
that Kansas is an abortion destination. A 2021 preliminary
report shows of 7,849 abortions performed in the state
that year, some 3,912 were performed on women who were
residents of other states 3,458
of those from Missouri. The
next largest state of residence
for procedures performed in
Kansas was Texas with 233.
Thirty-two percent of the
states abortion seekers the
largest age group according
to the report were between
the ages of 20-24. They were
48 percent White, 26 percent
Black and 23 percent Hispanic
or other. Eighty-five percent
were conducted on unmarried
women with 69 percent less
than 9 weeks along. Thirty percent had no previous pregnancies, 40 percent had no living
children and 67 percent had
had no previous abortion procedures.
Franklin and Miami both
logged 23 abortions according
to data for the six-county area,
along with 6 each in Anderson
and Linn counties, 5 in Allen
and 3 in Coffey.

would receive an added multiplier of .15. If 10 or more titles
had been won over the same
five-year period, the multiplier
increases to .30.
The second factor is geography. If the physical address of
the private school lies within
the attendance area of a public school, add .30 if the public school is 5A/6A, or .15 if
3A/4A. No multiplier is applied
to 1A/2A schools.
The third consideration is
socio-economic. If up to 20% of
the private school student body
receives free-or-reduced-priced
lunches, .15 is added to the multiplier. If more than 20% is
in that category, no additional
multiplier is added.
The result of the multiplier can be considerable. For
example, the largest private
school in Kansas, Bishop
Carroll Catholic in Wichita,
had an enrollment of 1,178 in
2020. But with a multiplier
under this scenario of 1.75,
its new enrollment nearly
doubled to 2,061, moving the
Golden Eagles from 5A to 6A.
The same with Bishop Miege in
Roeland Park. The Stags would
compete in Class 5A next year
after a 1.75 multiplier jumps its

Were taught to tough it out, but asking
for help is key to mental health
Support is key to mental
health According to National
Alliance on Mental Illness
(2019), 1 in
5 adults in
the United
States will
experience
a mental
illness
each year.
People who
experience White-Blakesley
a mental
illness
often feel alone, and families
who deal with mental illness
often feel helpless.
But you are not alone. There
are many resources available
to help individuals and fami-
lies who are struggling. Just
reaching out for help can make
a big impact on dealing with
any illness, mental or physical.
Help can come from a community mental health center such
as Southeast Kansas Mental
Health Center, your medical
doctor, a private therapist,
clergy, or through the VA if
you are a veteran.
It can be hard to ask for
help. In America, especially
rural America, we value independence. We often feel it is
important to be competent and
capable. Asking for help means
we let someone else have control. Asking for help feels vulnerable because we depend on
someone else. It is hard to see

ach
how accepting or asking for
help can be a strength or benefit us.
How can we take the first
step and ask for help? Just give
it a try. Recognize it takes courage and strength to let go of
control and to let others in. You
deserve to feel better, and you
matter.
Asking for help can be an
opportunity to build relationships and strengthen those we
already have. It is a chance
to build a team that can help
solve a problem and take steps
toward being stronger, healthier and closer to others.
If you or a loved one are
struggling, take a chance, be
brave and talk to someone who
can help.
