Davids, Democrats vote against separating non-citizens in census
Numbers affect political
district apportionment, as
well as Electoral College
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
WASHINGTON, D.C. Third
District Kansas congresswoman
Sharice Davids joined congressional
Democrats in a party line vote last
week in an attempt to continue counting illegal immigrants in the U.S.
Census, a move that affects hundreds
of millions of dollars
in federal spending
and alters the apportionment of congressional seats as well
as the U.S. Electoral
College.
Democrats failed
to stop the measure
Davids
by four votes in the
206-202 tally, though
the Bill itself is unlikely to ever have
a hearing or pass the Democratcontrolled
U.S. Senate. Eleven
Republicans and eleven Democrats
did not vote on the measure.
H.R. 7109 would add a box to the U.S.
Census form to be checked if a person
filling it out is not a legal citizen of
the United states. Both Citizen and
non-citizen tallies would be reported to federal census authorities and
made available in the same way that
present census data is tallied.
President Trump attempted to
end the commingling of citizen and
non-citizen population reporting by
ordering the U.S. Census to exclude
all non-citizens from apportionment
totals. But one of President Biden's
first acts in office was to reverse
this policy, at the same time that he
dropped restrictions at the southern
border to eventually allow an estimated 10 million additional illegal immigrants into the country since 2021.
Davids office did not respond to
questions about her vote.
Lora Ries, director of the Border
Security and Immigration Center
at the conservative think tank The
Heritage Center, told Fox News in
February the citizenship question
was important because congressional and electoral college apportion-

ment is based on the number of residents, as determined by the census.
Currently, Census includes illegal
aliens and other noncitizens as residents. Consequently, a state can gain
extra congressional districts and representation in Congress thanks to the
presence of a large population that
isnt legally allowed to vote. Since the
number of congressional seats is limited to 435, this additional representation comes at the expense of other
states.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT Leadership of Garnetts veterans organizations say the countys proposed fix to a botched computer kiosk system at Anderson Countys near half-million
dollar veterans memorial won't do, especially when
similar kiosk systems are fully functional at veterans
memorials across the country.
Garnett's American Legion and Veterans of Foreign
Wars organizations issued a statement in March protesting the continued inoperable status of the kiosk
system at the Anderson County Veterans Memorial,
which was dedicated in 2021. That system, whose
stately brick turrets were originally designed with
touchscreen interfaces to a database containing photos and information on all the veterans submitted by
family members, has never been completely functional.
Members of the public and of the veterans organizations have been highly critical of County leadership for
failing to forcefully address the failed system while the
warranty on the equipment, purchased from Advanced
Kiosks of Concord, NH., expired.
Commissioners first said they would sue the company over the $60,000 lemon, but in a follow-up statement
during the blank blank County Commission meeting
County counselor James Campbell said a lawsuit so
far past the warranty wouldn't be successful. instead,
Campbell relayed and updated plan to place a QR code
at the memorial which could be scanned with viewers cell phones, providing connection to the database
which would also be available via Links at the County's
website.
But in a letter to the editor published on Page 4 of
today's Review, leadership of those veterans organiza

tions say separating the names
of the county's storied soldiers,
airmen, sailors and Marines
from the memorial detracts
from its hallowed intent.
It still does nothing to
recognize and honor the
individual veterans from
Anderson County, Ks., says
the letter signed by veterans
Mike Canavan and Clarence
Hermann. It does not display
or recognize the names of the
county veterans at the memorial, unless they purchased, at
their expense, a brick in the
walkway. It also requires those
visiting the memorial to have
the technology and technical
know-how to access a distant
database.
This memorial which was
erected to honor the countys
military veterans, at significant expense and dedicated
with much fanfare on 14 June
2021, fails to accomplish its purpose, the letter reads.
The memorial took some 10
years to come to fruition after
a number of organizational
false starts, and was eventually
funded with both private donations and a property tax levy
assessed to the county budget
which eventually generated
more than $400,000 over a several year term.
CENSUS…

This warped representation is carried over into the
Electoral College, Ries said,
where each state is allocated
a number of votes equal to the
number of senators and representatives in its congressional
delegation.
Also at play are massive
amounts of federal funding distributed to localities through
various agencies and as grants
to non-profit organizations.
Many of those non-profits tacitly promote leftist ideology and
vote harvesting for Democrat
candidates for office.

charges from earlier in May for
violating the order and for possession of methamphetamine.
Anderson County Attorney
Elizabeth Oliver requested a
$5,000 bond which the court
reduced to $3,000. Caddell made
the bond but never showed up
for the May 8 trial.
The affidavit said Caddell
was arrested without incident
at the residence, but was discovered in possession of a substance that tested positive as
methamphetamine.
ANDERSON COUNTY COMMISSION
MAY, 2024
Chairman Leslie McGhee called
the meeting of the Anderson County
Commission to order at 9:00
AM on May 6, 2024, 2024 at the
Anderson County Commission Room.
Attendance: Leslie McGhee, Present:
David Pracht, Present: Anthony
Mersman, Present. The pledge of
allegiance was recited. Minutes from
the previous meeting were approved
as presented.
Road & Bridge
Ethan Lickteig, Road Supervisor,
met with the commission. Southern
Star would like access to roads to test
seismic activity. Their contractor for
the testing will be on 1000 Rd, 1100
Rd, and Missouri Rd. The commissioners approved the road usage. The
department has been working to fix
roads from the flooding.

Commissioner Mersman seconded
to appoint Jennifer L Adkinson as

Advantage Computer has been working on a website for the memorial
names so anyone can access the
information. Discussion was held on
the current state of the kiosks and if
they can be used for a different type
of way to display the veteran names.
Steve will do some research and get
back with the commissioners. The displays will not be working for the annual
Celebration of Service or Memorial
Day.
Soil Conservation
Deb Davis, Soil Conservation, and
Ryan Schaub, Frontier Extension
District, met with the commission. Deb
discussed with the commission how
Soil Conservation provided a cost
share for landowners to do soil testing.
This cost share was funded through a
grant but it is no longer available. The
Extension District office sends off the
samples and stated they cost about
$13. The previous cost share covered
approximately 70% of the cost to the
landowner. Soil Conservation asked if
the county would be willing to pay for
$10 per sample, up to 150 samples.
Soil Conservation has limits on how
many each landowner can bring in
and it is open to all landowners in
Anderson County. They feel soil testing is important so they know what
and where chemicals are going. The
commissioners agreed to share the
cost of the soil testing at $10 per sample, up to 150 samples. They plan to
do this annually.

A view of country life
Jackie Mundt, Pratt County
farmer and rancher
I inherited a love of walking from my mom. As a child,
going for a walk was a reason
to get out of the house to see
what was going on in the world.
Now it is a luxury to walk those
same roads spending time with
my mom and the feeling of nostalgia that comes with reliving
a piece of my former home.
Walking is one of the only
ways to exercise that I dont
mind, and it has been a fairly
constant part of my routine no
matter where Ive lived. During
the pandemic, walking gave me
new appreciation for the privilege of wide open spaces only
known to those of us who live
in the country. Walking was
part of the rehab from my back
surgery a few years ago that
opened my eyes to seeing the
patterns of nature happening
all around me. Lately, I have
been trying to consistently
walk a few miles a day for the
benefit of body and mind.
There is a place near my
home, just beyond the tree line
in the middle of the road past
the perimeter of safety. This
place overlooks the horizon in
a panoramic as far as the eye
can see. It is always a sight
to behold sun or storm, rain
or cloudless sky, sun rise or
sunset. No matter where my
mind is at this place pulls me
back to the present moment
and focuses my mind on the
reality of what is happening
right in front of me a sight
that refuses to be overlooked
or ignored. Seeing that much of
the heavens and earth together
fills me with a sense of awe. Its
a place of humility reminding
me how small I am in such a
vast universe.
I enjoy having a place that
makes both ordinary and
extraordinary views worth
your time. Recently, I watched
the approach of giant angry
thunder clouds bringing hail
and lightning toward our
home. It is where I stood to
enjoy the colorful showing of
the northern lights.
Nighttime views from this
place are the most memorable.
On a cloudless night last fall,
I glanced up to find every star
in the sky shining so brightly
it felt like I could be knocked
down by the weight and size of
the sky. Outside the effects of
light pollution, its amazing to
experience the full power of the
cosmos.
Walking has been a great
reminder of the blessings of
country life. When people from
cities or the coast find out Im
from Kansas, I often get asked
what there is to do in Kansas.
They dont mean to be insulting
but there is an unintentional
implication that there is nothing worth seeing in Kansas,
right?
The best parts of Kansas are
some of the things most people will never experience or
understand. There isnt much
out here, leaving the horizon
open to show the beauty of and
power of Mother Nature. We
dont have neon lights or electronic billboards, we have endless unique, epic light shows
that will never be duplicated. You wont hear the busy
sounds of the city but your ears
will be filled with the roar of
wind, the rumble of thunder
and the sounds of nature all
around.
Walking is a routine part of
my life on the farm. Each day
I walk the same path because
it is good for my health and
even better for my perspective.
It helps me to remember every
day that I am fortunate to be in
this exact place, living a wonderful life.

Senior Center pitch Pauls trip to Athens
results for 5/2 & 5/9
Between rain storms we've
managed to keep playing pitch
although some of our players
may be getting webbed feet.
For May 2nd games these
are the results: Kyle Trendel
had the most perfect hands of
13 with five; Wayne Stanley
took low winning the least
amount of games; there was no
50/50 winner and Jan Wards
had the most wins, winning 10
of 10 games played.
On the 9th of May we had a
table of players get very confident; one shot the moon for the
game, another double shot for
the win and a third triple shot
to win the game by making
all 13 points. That made for
a noisey fun outcome as the
team with the triple shot managed to take all thirteen points
and win the game with a score
of 78 points. Results for May
9th are as follows; Jan Wards
took high winning seven of 10
games; Mike Kilet took low
winning the least amount of
games; Don Smith captured the
50/50 and Jan Wards had the
most perfect hands of 13 with
four.
Come join us on thursday
evening promptly at six o'clock
at the Senior Center, need not
be a senior to play. You never
know what excitement these
ole people will come up with.

RUTHERFORD…
FROM PAGE 1
a child, aggravated and decent
liberties and aggravated criminal sodomy all of a child under
the age of 14 after a conviction
in Anderson County District
Court. His request for a pardon
from the governor was filed in
January of this year. Those
who would like to submit written comments on Rutherford's
application must do so within
15 days of the publication date
of today's newspaper. The mailing address for submission of
comments will be published
in an upcoming edition of the
Review in a public notice.
Clemency requests in
Kansas can only be granted by
the governor, and only after
an application and public comment period.
An Anderson County jury
found Rutherford guilty of
molesting the 4-year-old girl,
who according to court records
had developmental disabilities
and functioned at a level similar to a two year-old or younger. Rutherford baby sat in the
household in which he and the
mother cohabitated. The mother testified Rutherford would
kiss the child like you would
kiss a girlfriend, and continued doing so even after the
mother told him to stop because
she did not approve. The mother also testified Rutherford
would give the child baths and
tried to do so frequently. Court
testimony from the director
of Anderson County Head
Start reported bruising on the
child's inner thighs, and when
asked about the abrasions the
child reported that Rutherford
had hurt her. That statement
was corroborated by two other
witnesses who heard similar
comments from the child.
Records from the trial
indicate Rutherford told two
other inmates at the Anderson
County Jail that the little girl
had rips and tears but that
she was mentally challenged
so she would not be able to
testify against him. The two
inmates testified Rutherford
told them he and the little girl
cared for each other and had
plans to get married.
A
Kansas
appeals
court rejected all three of
Rutherford's arguments for
appeal in 2008, finding that any
error that may have existed at
the preliminary hearing stage
was harmless given the lack
of evidence that such error
caused any prejudice during
the trial. The appellate judge
also found there was indeed
sufficient evidence at trial
to support his conviction of
indecent liberties, and it was
unnecessary to determine
whether the age of the victim
erroneously was considered as
an aggravating factor, because
two other aggravating factors
supported the trial judges
upward departure of his sentence.
Records from the Kansas
Department of Corrections
show 24 disciplinary reports
filed on Rutherford since he
was incarcerated in June 2006.
His earliest possible release

When Paul came to Athens
he preached to the Jews and
the God-fearing Greeks, as
well as preaching in the market place daily. However he
was greatly distressed to see
the city was full of idols which
the people worshiped. A group
of philosophers after hearing
Paul began to dispute with him.
They were not clear on what
Paul was saying but is seemed
to them he was advocating
foreign gods. What Paul was
preaching to them was Jesus
and the resurrection. They ask
Paul to explain the meaning of
what he was saying. They were
interested because the worship
of idols governed their lives.
Paul noticed they had one alter
entitled TO AN UNKNOWN
GOD. Paul took this god and
their love for religion to explain
Jesus and the resurrection.
These people had no faith
and if their pursuit of all these
idols failed they could always
pursue the UNKNOWN GOD.
Pauls words to them were,
Now what you worship as
something unknown I am going
to proclaim to you. Their gods
were mute, blind and most likely made from stone or wood and
were confined to where they
were set. God exists in a dif-

ferent way from us: we exist
in a derived, finite and fragile
way, but God exists as eternal,
self-sustaining and necessary.
His existence is necessary in
the sense that there is no possibility in him of ceasing to
exist. In Pauls presentation
of the unknown god to these
philosophers he explained that
the Creator of the world is not
served by human hands as
though he needed anything,
since he himself gives to all
mankind life and breathe and
everything. (Acts 17:25) Too
often today we, like the philosophers, put our believe in the
wrong thing, the idols we create
for ourselves. There is a big difference in believing something
will save you, ultimately by
your own hands, than having
faith in the one true God who
holds your very breath in the
palm of his hands.
Colony Christian Church
– Mothers Day sermon
Pastor Chase Riebel delivered
a Mother's Day sermon from
Matthew 20:17-23. A mother's
most important job is is to lead
their child to have a relationship with Christ and to pray for
them. The best thing a mother
can do is live the kind of life
she wants her child to live.
For communion meditation Noah Gordon talked about
what Mary's perspective might
have been raising Jesus. The
lyrics for the song "Mary, Did
You Know" by Mark Lowry
gives a great perspective on
the uniqueness of this mother
and son relationship.
Lexy Langworthy led worship singing "Mighty to Save,"
"How Deep the Father's Love
for Us," "King of Kings" and
"Goodness of God."

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, May 14, 2024
OPINION
What happened to Bidens pledge that U.S.
support of our ally Israel is ironclad?
In President Joe Bidens world, Iran gets
sanctions relief, and Israel gets its weapons
revoked.
The Middle East is on fire because of Bidens
feeble leadership and his unwillingness to
stand by our greatest ally in the region at a time
of critical need.
Sadly, I am not surprised by Bidens abrogation of his moral duty to support Israel. During
his tenure, this president has repeatedly demonstrated that he prefers to appease our enemies
rather than help our allies. The trend started with Bidens disastrous withdrawal from
Afghanistan when he abandoned Americans and
Afghan allies to suffer under Taliban rule. As a
result, terrorists rejoice at his decisions instead
of trembling in fear.
Just last week I returned from Israel, where I
advocated for the release of American hostages
held captive by Iran-backed Hamas, and reassured Israeli officials, including Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu, that America has your
back.
While my message rings true the Biden
administration is sending a much different one.
I was still in Israel, when I heard reports that
Biden was withholding ammunition from our
ally. Truly unbelievable.
Choosing to deny critical munitions to Israel
is reprehensible. And it reeks of politics.
The very weapons hes purposefully revoking
are kits to convert bombs into precision-guided ammunition. Preventing these weapons
from reaching Israeli hands only contradicts
the Biden administrations self-professed goal,
which is to push Israel to conduct precise strikes
against Hamas to reduce civilian casualties.
As Netanyahu said to me, and to the world,
the U.S. withholding precision-guided capabilities from Israel wont stop their efforts to defend
their country and their citizens. But the reality
is, Bidens decision could make it harder for
Israel to avoid civilian deaths.
In April, Congress, with my help, did its part
in standing with our ally by approving critical weapons support. Leading up to this bills
passage, Biden said the aid to Israel was critical and that swift and decisive action was
required ensure the government of Israel has
everything it needs to defend itself. Yet, when
it is his time to act, he fails to do so.
Time and time again, over the last seven
months, the administration has reassured the
American people their commitment to Israeli

security is ironclad.
Thats clearly a bunch of bull.
Any weakness in U.S. resolve right now only
incentivizes Iran-backed Hamas to continue its
massacre, and certainly to walk away from any
ceasefire negotiations. Bidens decision to withhold crucial ammunition is not just a betrayal
of Israel but to my fellow Americans being held
hostage by Iran-backed terrorists.
The president is capitulating to the anti-Israel, pro-Hamas mob of his party and doing so at
his own peril.
Youve made your choice, Mr. President. You
are choosing the side of Iran-backed Hamas
terrorists who brutally rape women and burn
babies. You are choosing the side of antisemites
who are ruining the lives of Jewish students
across this country.
Time and time again, over the last seven
months, the administration has reassured the
American people their commitment to Israeli
security is ironclad. Thats clearly a bunch of
bull.
Now you will live with the consequences
and most gravely, so will the American hostages
and U.S. servicemembers being targeted daily by
Iranian proxies.
We already have the mouthpieces of Hamas
here at home violently protesting on college
campuses. We dont need it in the White House.
Republicans will not waver in our support for
Israel and our Jewish friends. Never Again is
right now, and we will be on the right side of
history.

Id like to expand on the caller on the Phone

The title of your article How to kill a church
was misleading. First Baptist Church of Garnett
was already dead or at the very least on life

close a dead church. Closing up churches has
happened before and there should be a template
on how to do it. The bigger question in my mind
is why do you conduct worship services like its
the 1960s and expect young people to come? If
there was ever a time when young couples with
children need the direction in life that Jesus
provides, it is now. I know people who used to

Biden sells out Israel to get support from campus radicals
Even as Joe Biden was delivering his perfunctory Holocaust Remembrance speech earlier this week, decrying the ferocious surge in
antisemitism on college campuses and prattling
on about how he would never forget the Oct.
7 attack which saw over 1,300 Israelis murdered, raped, and kidnapped the president
was planning to stop the Jewish State from
destroying modern-day Nazis.
Last week, Biden told CNNs Erin Burnett
that if Israel invades the city of Rafah in Gaza
where remaining battalions of Hamas terrorists
are holed up behind civilians the U.S. would
stop supplying Israel with offensive and precision weapons.
This is a historic moment, as it is surely the
first time a president has sold out a stalwart U.S.
ally to save a terrorist organization. And not
just any terror organization, but one that murdered, sexually tortured, kidnapped and still
holds American citizens. Biden has sacrificed
them to the mobs of Columbia University and
Dearborn, Michigan, and The Washington Post
editorial board. Biden could have given Israel
this ultimatum privately. But he went on TV to
do it precisely because it is meant for the ears of
Israel haters.
You may recall, only a couple of weeks ago
Democrats insisted on attaching Israeli aid to
Ukrainian aid as a means of garnering the votes
to pass a foreign assistance bill. Biden is now
pausing the congressionally approved delivery
of weapons to one ally to bolster his domestic
election prospects by appealing to campus radi-

cals and antisemitic enclaves.
In 2020, Donald Trump was impeached for
abuse of power and obstruction of Congress
for merely threatening Volodymyr Zelensky on
a phone call with the same behavior. This is far
worse. Not only is Israel a longtime ally, it is
also, in every way imaginable, a better democracy than Ukraine.
It should not be lost on anyone that Biden
is only incentivizing more demonstrations and
violence from the communists, Islamists, and
well-funded Hamas cosplayers. The next time
a Jewish kid is accosted on campus, Biden can
take some credit. Then again, the presidents
donors are also the patrons of these Americahating revolutionaries. And they have, by any
measure, succeeded.
Biden is also willing to sacrifice the remaining American hostages to placate the mob. If
Israel submits to the presidents demands, it will
have been stripped of any leverage in hostage
negotiations. Why would a terror organization
hand back any Jews knowing that the Israelis
are being leashed by the United States? All they
had to do was wait it out.
It is almost surely the case that Bidens
feckless, unprincipled nature allowed him to
be cowed by the pro-Iranian Obamites who now
infest the American government and institutions. We learned yesterday that Rob Malley, a
man who brought Iranian assets into the United
States government, was suspended for allegedly
sending classified documents to his personal
email account and downloading them to his
personal phone. Weird, right?
Yet, not even Obama, who had been chummy
with black supremacists and other antisemites
for decades before reaching the White House,
cut off aid to Israel. Democrats continue to lurch
toward the hard left.
And where are the Jewish Democrats decrying this development? Probably blaming their
straw man, Benjamin Netanyahu, whom they
frame as some kind of warmongering fascist.
In reality, the unity government war council of
Israel includes the opposition leader. Netanyahu
has less power to act unilaterally than the
American president. There is no responsible
government in Israel, much less the world, that
would permit Hamas to skate.

Bidens only problem: People think hes an awful President
President Joe Biden has suffered a collapse in
his standing generally, but, fundamentally, its
because so few people think hes doing a good
job that hes in such a perilous state.
Other than that, its going great.
Its hard to exaggerate how abysmal Bidens
polling has been lately.
No incumbent president should ever want to
be near 43% in a head-tohead ballot test. Yet here

mix.)
Detect a trend? (There handling inflation?
are other polls that have
Biden a little higher.) Its
no mystery why Bidens
polling is at crisis levels.
An incumbent presidents level of support in
a reelection bid is typically tethered closely to
his job approval. Its hard to get much more than
a couple of points above it. Bidens job approval
is at 40% in the RealClearPolitics polling average and at 39.3 in the 538 polling average.
The CNN poll has Bidens job approval right
there at 40%, where its held steady for about

RICH LOWRY, King Features Syndicate
a year, with 60% disapproving. The Harvard/
Harris has his approval rating a little higher at
44%, even though hes at 43% in the ballot test.
Its not just that Bidens job approval is low;
hes trailing Trump on the rather crucial metric
of who was or is a successful president.
According to the CNN poll, 55% of the public
now considers the Trump presidency a success
and 44% look at it as a failure. Biden, in contrast,
is upside down. Only 39% say his presidency has
been a success, while 61% say its been a failure.
People may have all sorts of expectations for
presidents — that they not get indicted, that they
not post on TruthSocial in ALL CAPS, that they
accept the results of elections, etc., etc. — but the
most important one, surely, is that they succeed
at the job.
Being considered a failed president is not,
needless to say, a status consistent with winning
reelection.
Of course, the economy is the biggest anchor
on Biden. His numbers there are in the tank.
CNN has his approval on the economy at 34%
and inflation at 29%. The Economist/YouGov
poll found the same thing — 39% approval on the
economy and 29% on prices.
In a normal election, these numbers simply
wouldnt be survivable. But with two extremely
well-known, unpopular candidates, this is not a
normal race.
Trumps history and personal radioactivity
give Biden a lot of material to work with. And
its a boon to him that his opponent is locked
down in a courtroom several days a week.
The problem for Biden is that many of the
attacks on Trump — especially those based on
his legal prosecutions — feel besides the point
compared to the bigger questions in the race.
Are more people going to care that Trump has
been convicted of felonious bookkeeping related
to a payment to a porn star eight years ago or
that they think he can do a better job handling
inflation?
And theres more bad news for Biden: Besides
disapproving of his job performance and his
economy, people dont particularly like him,
dont think hes a strong leader, and dont think
hes fit to be president.
If all that represents trouble for the incumbent, the biggest problem, again, is that hes failing at his job. The most direct way for Joe Biden
to improve his chances in November would be
to become a good president — although its unfair
to place such unrealistic expectations on him at
this juncture in his presidency and career.

Vets: Memorial solution
does nothing to recognize
Anderson County veterans
Dear Sir:
The members of the Sgt. Jeffery S. Mersman
Memorial Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 6397
and the Fuller-Thompson American Legion Post
#48 have reviewed the proposed solution to
repair the Anderson County Veterans Memorial
as narrated in the Anderson County Review of
30 April 2024.
We find this solution to be far less than adequate for several reasons.
It still does nothing to recognize and honor
the individual veterans from Anderson County,
Ks.
It does not display or recognize the names
of the county veterans at the memorial, unless
they purchased, at their expense, a brick in the
walkway.
It also requires those visiting the memorial to
have the technology and technical know-how to
access a distant database.
Most of the people visiting the memorial are
older and very likely not capable of this. In the
end this still does nothing to display the names
of the Countys Veterans. Anyone who has visited the Vietnam memorial knows what it means
to see the name of a veteran and place a hand on
their name.
This Memorial which was erected to honor
the Countys military veterans, at significant
expense and dedicated with much fanfare on 14
June 2021, fails to accomplish its purpose.
We have questioned roughly 50 county residents so far and without exception, not one
thinks that this is an acceptable solution to the
issue.
In addition, it should be noted that the
Veterans Memorial is also incomplete regarding
the U.S. Military, since it only recognizes 5 of the
6 branches of the U.S. military. The U. S. Space
Force was stood up on 20 DEC 2019 well prior to
the construction of the memorial. And while
there may be no Anderson County Space Force
veterans at present, there may be in the future.
After looking into the company that manufactured the kiosks, it appears that they have

Two more schoolhouse
buildings in rural districts of
Anderson County will be facing
the auctioneers call. The sale
of the building and equipment
of Maple Grove District, located four miles north, is for May
16. The school has been closed
for three years, and local school
board members have taken the
necessary steps to dispose of
the district-owned property.
The second schoolhouse scheduled for sale later this month
is the Lingo School. First
organized in 1858, the Lingo
school was named after Dr B.M.
Lingo, who had given the land
to the schoolhouse site. This
sale is part of a more significant trend, with 92 counties in
Kansas preparing to vote on
unification following 1963 legislation. This legislation, aimed
at consolidating and unifying
school districts, will make substantial improvements to the
school buildings left under unification and will help teachers
do a better job by controlling
the overall size of the district
instead of managing the needs
of students through individual
schools.

In the end, Biden has also
prolonged the suffering of
Palestinians. Hamas knew
there would be retribution
after Oct 7. They knew thousands of Arab civilians would
die, because they seek as many
martyrs and as much suffering

Islamists to hold power. Rather
than planning for a post-Hamas
Gaza and Israel-Saudi normalization, Biden is choosing to
save Iranian proxies in the
region.

Anderson County leaders
are expected to invest a significant amount of capital into
the rural fire departments this
year. The upgraded equipment will be a difficult task
in a year that has demanded
more from the fire departments
than any previous 15. Part of
a five-year plan introduced by
the Emergency Management
Director JD Mersman, the
upgrades result from a yearlong evaluation of the equipment requested by county commissioners. Mersman said that
Anderson County is not the
only place facing the critical
decision to upgrade equipment
but that it will work to the countys advantage. Nationwide,
departments are improving
their fleets and flooding the
market with well-used equipment. A new fire truck can
cost as much as $400,000, but
good quality used trucks are
selling for far less. Sales tax
collections for the county and
its cities show a mostly positive
economic picture for the first
four months 2014. The increase
is good news for the county governments, as economic activity is seeing increased sales in
retail locations. Locally, the
most prominent sales tax collectors are new and used car
dealerships because they collect sales tax on large purchases. In Anderson County, automotive sales comprise about 20
percent of all retail sales and
sales tax collections.

our community to find an
acceptable solution that will
allow our Anderson County
Veterans to be properly recognized as intended.

Tractor Safety class for 14 and
15-year olds, registration is open
The Marias des Cygnes and
Frontier Extension Districts
will be hosting a Hazardous
Occupation Training (H.O.T.)
class. This class is required for
14 and 15-year old youth who
want to operate farm tractors
on farms other than for their
parents. The only time a 1415year old would be exempt from
needing this training would be
if he or she works for their parents on the family farm. This
training is required, however,
if the familys farm is a partnership, incorporated, or the
youth is working on a grandparents farm. This training is
also required if the youth is
planning to use a lawn mower
or tractor larger than 20 horsepower.
This year the class will be
much different than in years
past. Youth will be required to
complete an online course from
Penn State University called
the National Safe Tractor
and Machinery Operation
Program. There is a cost of
$10 for the online course. The
online course will cover the
book portion of the tractor
and machinery safety material
and will account for about 16
hours of training. The youth
will also be asked to watch 5
short safety videos and write
3-4 sentences about what they
learned from the videos. Once
the book portion has been completed with a passing grade,
Penn State will have the youth
print their passing certificate.
Youth will need to bring their
certificate and their sentences
describing what they learned
from the videos watched to
their local Extension Office by
June 12. On Saturday, June 15,
we will have an 8-hour day of
in person safety training that
will end with a tractor driving test. Youth that pass the
driving test will get their completed Certificate of Training.
Saturday, June 15 will start
at the Pomona Community
Building, 219 Jefferson Street,
Pomona, before traveling to a
farm for the driving test.
To register for the hazardous
occupation class, youth must
call their local Extension Office
or sign up by using this link

popular and dancing around
a maypole. Mystery gifts were
won by our Lucky Lady Hilda
Lankard, guessing a night light
and a bottle of lavender lotion.
Minutes were read by Diane
Hastert and the treasurers
report was given. MaryAnn
Umbarger received fresh
yellow lilies from her secret
pal. Hostess gifts were won
by MaryAnn and Marilyn
Benjamin which was a basket with a cute tea towel,
Dr.Watkins hand soap and Dr.
Teal body lotion.
Our next meeting will be
May 8th at noon El Jimador
Mexican Restaurant. We all
enjoyed our friendship and
laughter and our usual gab session and watching the hummingbirds swarming the feeder.
A cute May Day bag was
made for each member with a
packet of flower seeds, garden
gloves and honey. Thank you
Linda and Erin for the best
"Miller Time" we all enjoyed
our time together.

Rain on our parade
Kim Baldwin, McPherson
County farmer and rancher
For many, these next few
days and weeks consist of a
lot of events that will generally take place outside. For
my community, that involves
city-wide garage sales, student
field days and a huge multiday
countywide celebration that
includes outdoor performances, student competitions at the
park, a carnival and a fantastically impressive parade that
attracts residents of our county
and beyond to attend.
The talk has already begun
about how its looking like this
years county-wide events are
gearing up to have perfect
weather".
My husband says he stopped
praying for rain a long time ago.
Its not that he doesnt believe
his prayers for rain are heard;
it's just that theres more folks
wanting to go to that outdoor
concert or the widely anticipated county-wide parade not in
the rain.
I have a tab open on my computer that leads me straight
to a website containing the
current Kansas drought maps.
While the maps are full of vivid
colors including deep reds and
oranges, the colors on display
are not the ones we want to see.
The most concerning statistic I cant help but continually
check on is a map shows the
soil moisture conditions based
on the soil moisture content of
the top 20 centimeters of soil.
Those top 20 centimeters of
soil is the lifeblood for the start
of our crops. Its where the
seeds germinate and take root.
And in our area, its dry as
in deep red, not the color you
want to see on the map, dry.
While our corn and popcorn
seeds are now in the ground,
weve decided to hold off planting the soybeans until we catch
a rain. Were waiting for a different kind of perfect weather compared to so many other
folks right now.
It is my hope that before this
piece goes to print, the rain
will have arrived for Kansas
farmers and ranchers. It is my
hope that the drought monitor
maps I have been continually
checking to see any signs of
change begin showing change
for the better.
And while my husband may
not ask for the rain specifically, I ask others to join me in
prayer:
Lord, we cherish the times with
our loved ones when we can
share a meal together outside.
We know for many a lot of planning has to be done to make
that happen, but please, Lord,
we ask you to help those families enjoy their time together as they move their picnic
indoors.
Lord, we know its near the
end of the school year, and
children need to be outside,
but provide the teachers with
enough strength and patience
to keep the kids inside for
recess to avoid soggy shoes
and socks, wet hair and muddy
floors.
Lord, we know that it will
be an inconvenience for many,
and that there may be less seating and frustrated families, but
please move that graduation
ceremony from the football
field into the school's gym.
And Lord, we know that a
lot of work is put into the building of those floats and a lot of
people travel many miles to
attend, but please, Lord, we ask
you to help those parade-goers embrace their celebratory
spirit under open umbrellas. Please, Lord, rain on our
parade.

wearing a helmet cannot be
overstated, AAAs Steward
said. Like seat belts, helmets
are a simple and effective way
to reduce the likelihood of injury or death during a crash.
According to KDOT, of the
491 motorcycle occupants
killed in crashes on Kansas
roads between 2013 and 2022,
only 36% were wearing helmets. In 2022, only 15 of the
51 (29%) bikers killed wore a
helmet.
Motorcycle helmet laws
vary by state. In Kansas, helmets are required only by
motorcycle/moped riders less
than 18 years of age. Its everyones responsibility both the
motor vehicle driver and the
motorcyclist to practice safe
habits on the road and, ultimately, to Share the Road.
AAA Kansas Shares Tips for
Sharing the Road
Share the road. A motorcycle has the same privileges
as any other vehicle on the
road. Be courteous and give
the motorcyclist a full lane of
travel.
Look out. Look for motorcyclists on the highway, especially at intersections when a
cyclist may be making a turn
or changing lanes. Clearly signal your intentions.
Anticipate a motorcyclists
maneuvers.
Obstructions
(debris, potholes, etc.) that you
may ignore or not notice can
be deadly for a motorcyclist.
Anticipate their possible evasive actions.
Allow plenty of space. Do
not follow a motorcycle too
closely. Allow enough room
for the motorcyclist to take
evasive actions.
Keep your cool. Even if you get
agitated seeing a motorcyclist
making unsafe moves, do not
attempt to play games on the
road.
Safety Tips for Motorcyclists
Make yourself visible.
Choose protective gear that
provides visibility and protection. This includes wearing
bright colors. If riding at night,
wear clothing with reflective
materials.
Allow space. Position your
bike in the lane so that you
can be seen. Allow additional
space for emergency braking
and room to maneuver. Avoid
riding in a motorists blind
spot. Make lane changes gradually and use appropriate signaling.
Never share a lane beside a
car. A driver may be unaware
of your presence. Most drivers
are looking for larger vehicles,
not motorcycles.
Clearly signal your intentions. Use turn signals before
changing lanes and never
weave between lanes.
Complete a motorcycle
rider education and training
course. The overwhelming
majority of motorcyclists have
had no formal training they
were self-taught or learned
from family and friends. Get
professional training on how to
be a defensive driving motorcyclist.
Wear protective gear.
Helmet – Always wear a
U.S. DOT-approved helmet. It
can save your life.
Eye protection – Visibility
is key to riding safely. Many
motorcycles do not have windshields. Riders should protect
their eyes with goggles that can
shield the face from wind and
debris, both of which can cause
tearing and, blurred vision.
Body Protection – Jackets
with long sleeves and trousers
protect limbs from injury.
Gloves – Durable gloves
should be a non-slip type to
permit a firm grip on controls.
Footwear – Proper overthe-ankles footwear should be
worn to help prevent injuries.
"
WICHITA With the nicer
weather of spring and summer,
more motorcyclists are on the
roadways. In the last 10 years,
registered motorcycles have
increased 14%, according to the
National Safety Council (NSC).
WhileMotorcyle on highway
(from AAA Foundation website).jpg riding can be fun and
liberating, it is not without
its dangers. May is National
Motorcycle Safety Awareness
Month and AAA is reminding
everyone to take precautions
when driving around motorcycles and to Share the Road
safely and responsibly.
According to data from
the National Highway Traffic
Safety
Administration
(NHTSA), motorcycle riders
continue to be overrepresented
in fatal traffic crashes. In 2022,
there were 6,218 motorcyclists
killed 15% of all traffic fatalities. This is the highest number
of motorcyclists killed since at
least 1975. Of the motorcycle
operators involved in fatal
crashes in 2022, 35% were riding without valid motorcycle
licenses.
In Kansas in 2022, more than
1,000 motorcycles, motor scooters and mopeds were involved
in traffic crashes, according
to the Kansas Department
of Transportation (KDOT).
Nearly 13% of all Kansas traffic
deaths that year 52 fatalities
were occupants of these often
two-wheeled vehicles. Another
826 people were injured.
The number of motorcyclists killed continues to
be troubling, especially with
motorcyclists representing a
disproportionate amount all
traffic fatalities on our nations
and states roadways, said
Shawn Steward, spokesman
for AAA Kansas. To ensure the
safety of all road users, AAA
and other traffic safety advocates are urging drivers and
motorcyclists to share the road
and be alert.
It is incumbent upon drivers, motorcyclists and pedestrians to avoid distractions when
on the roadways, Steward
added. Motorcyclists are also
reminded of their responsibility to keep themselves as safe
as possible by following the
rules of the road, wearing a
DOT-compliant helmet, being
visible to other drivers, and
never driving while impaired.
According to the National
Safety Council, in 2022,
although motorcycles made
up only three percent of all
registered vehicles and less
than one percent (0.7%) of all
vehicle miles traveled in the
United States, motorcyclists
accounted for nearly 15% of all
traffic fatalities and 3.5% of all
injuries.
2021
NSC
Motorcycle
Fatality Trends indicate the
majority of motorcyclist fatalities occurred:
On urban roads (66%)
In good weather (94%)
During daytime (50%)
In crashes involving two
vehicles (55%)
When wearing helmets
(60%)
Helmet Use
Helmet use continues to
be significantly higher in
states that require all motorcyclists to be helmeted than
in states without a helmet
requirement. According to the
National Occupant Protection
Use Survey (NOPUS), use of
Department of Transportation
(DOT)-compliant helmets by
all motorcyclists (riders and
passengers) was 66.5% in 2022,
a slight increase from 64.9% in
2021. Motorcycle helmets are
estimated to be 37% effective
in preventing fatal injuries to
motorcycle operators and 41%
effective for motorcycle passengers.

some of whom are not happy. News flash, he is not new. Judge Wilson grew up here and graduated
from Garnett High School in 1969. Many of his childhood friends, their children and grandchildren,
continue to live here. I know because Im one of them. He moved back here two years ago, bought a
house, paid taxes and is active around Garnett. In March he was offered an appointment as municipal judge. He accepted with a very clear understanding that he would resign if elected as the next
county attorney. Contrary to the rumors and misinformation being spread, the judge came home to
make a positive impact on his community. It is up to the citizens of Anderson County to decide how
he can best be of service, not the keyboard warriors.
Places of famous landscape and oceanscape paintings and photos of sunsets on the vast open horizon
are rapidly disappearing, as corrupt power-hungry Democrats replace those scenes with the endless
clutter of giant windmills and solar panel fields. Not even the once most remote and pristine areas
are spared Democrat destruction. Everything Democrats touch turns to garbage.
Turns out local rep Charice Davidsons campaign is receiving funding from out of state radical left
wing Demcorat billionaires like the pritzker family, owners of Hyatt hotels, who are also helping
fund these anti-jewish Neo-Nazi Democrat mobs all over the country.

on an error by the Heritage
Christian Academy first baseman.

a single to centerfield to put
runners on first and second.
