Thieves grab Patriots ATM,
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
LAWRENCE Overland Park law officers arrested three suspects at an OPK
Wal-Mart Thursday in connection with
the early Wednesday morning theft of
an ATM machine at the Maple Street
location of Patriots Bank in Garnett.
Kansas Highway Patrol investigators
said a late model Jeep Cherokee identified matching the description of one
that fled the Patriots drive-thru was
observed northbound on U.S. 59 and
entering Lawrence at a high rate of
speed after the theft, which they said
was reported about 4:40 a.m. Wednesday.
The Lawrence Police Facebook page
carried a post that said the vehicle was
found abandoned at the Kwik Shop at
23rd Street and Haskell Avenue later
Wednesday morning and that the suspects were thought to have fled on foot.
No other information was immediately
available as of our early deadline.
Later the LPD reported the suspects
were no longer believed to be in the

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
KINCAID A repeat sex offender
fradulently claiming to be a pastor
who operated a non-profit ministry
for prison inmates which he claimed
garnered 10,000 Youtube subscribers
over the two years his organization
was operating will be in Anderson
County Court June 25th for a preliminary hearing on charges of sodomy
and sexual exploitation of a child.
Kevin James LaBelle, 49 of
Kincaid, was arrested in late April
and charged earlier this month with
engaging in sex with a 15-year-old
boy as well as photographing sex
acts with the youth to possess or distribute. Anderson County Attorney
Elizabeth Oliver said additional
charges of contributing to a childs
misconduct and unlawful distribution of marijuana were also filed.
LaBelle claimed to hold a doctorate in pastoral ministry from the
Christian Bible College and Seminary
of Kansas City, Mo. Stephanie Harrill,
school administrator for CBCS, said
the school conducts a prison ministry program that allows inmates
to attain their degrees and then pay
their associated fees and other costs
after theyre released and find a job.
Harrill said LaBelle finished his
coursework but never notified the
school when he was released from
prison in 2021, and never paid the
costs.
He cant present himself with
those conferred degrees from us until
he pays those costs, Harrill said.
Hes fradulent. We havent heard
from him and we didnt know he was
released in 2021.
She said CBCS has successful
degree candidates, both for the prison ministry program as well as laity,
now serving in pastoral and other
capacities all over the country. The
school was founded in 1992 according to its filing documents at the
Missouri Secretary of States office.
Christian Bible College and
Seminary offers faculty directed
independent home study programs,
its official documents say. These
external correspondence courses are
a viable alternative for the continuing of a theological discipline and
credits toward earning a degree.
Tuition schedules are usually less
than half compared to the traditional

Youth shooting team plans fundraiser for new range, supplies Something
GARNETT Anderson County Dogs
youth trap shooting team is drawing
a bead on the Kansas State Shoot in
Sedgwick near Wichita the weekend of
June 14th and 16th, and theyre hoping
a June 29th taco dinner and mouse race
fundraiser will help raise funds for a
new trap range and supplies for the
team.
The present trap shooting facility in Lake Garnett Park was built in
the 1930s as part of the WPA project.
Organizers and team supporters hope
to completely refurbish the facility into
a modern shooting range.
With more than 50 years and
Shooting Sports, coach Kevin Malone
says this particular sport is unique.
It isnt just about shooting skill and
the competition, Maloan said. There
is the whole world of safety and range
protocol that shooting clubs instill in
these kids, and the earlier you make it a
habit for them the better shooters they
are and the safer they are for themselves and for everyone.
Event organizer Courtney Tucker
said proceeds from the June 29th fundraiser will also raise money for shells
and targets for the team and also registration fees for the competition shoots
it attends.
The event will be held Saturday
June 29th at 5:00 p.m., with mouse races
starting at 6:00 p.m., at the fairgrounds
Community Building in Lake Garnett
Park. Taco dinner tickets are $10 per
person and $8 for kids 10 and under. for

LaBelle conducted significant social media presentations on Facebook and
YouTube promoting his ministry, called From The Bars
To The Bricks, and referring
to himself as The Rev Dr.
Kev, advocating for incarcerated inmates and for inmates
LaBelle claimed were falsely
imprisoned. He made numerous requests for donations and
contributions to the ministry,
but it is unknown how much
money those efforts generated.
LaBelle had a number of felonies and an extensive number
of collection actions in various counties according to state
court records. He was adjudicated as a juvenile in 1988 for
indecent liberties with a child
and had a subsequent conviction as an adult in 2017 which
landed him on the Kansas sex
offender registry. He won a
partial appeal of his sentence
in 2010 after arguing court
officials included his juvenile
adjudication when considering
extending his sentence on the
2017 case.
Facebook posts from June
2023
announced
LaBelle
planned to turn a decrepit
building in Kincaid into a coffee
shop to raise funds for the ministry called Blessed Brews.
That project apparently was
never undertaken. LaBelle
said in a Facebook reel Bars
to Bricks had attracted 10,000
subscribers to its Youtube
channel. That claim couldnt
be confirmed since both the
Youtube channel and a website
for the ministry could not be
found last week.

2×2 Good
In Genesis 15 we read the
account of Gods covenant with
Abram. Abram has no children and he fears he will die
without an heir to his estate.
Abraham has followed God
leaving his home and family
to live as a nomad. The text
says that the word of the Lord
came to Abram in a vision. The
Lord told Abram that his offspring would be as numerous
as the stars. We are told Abram
believed the Lord and God credited it to him as righteousness.
Since Adam and Eve failed
to obey God in the Garden of
Eden man has been inherently unrighteous. No matter
what we try to make ourselves
acceptable to God our inherent
righteousness is like filthy rags.
(Isa. 64:5) To cover this God
instituted the sacrificial system
in the Old Testament which was
replaced with the birth, life,
death, burial and resurrection
of Jesus in the New Testament.
Jesus lived a perfect life while
he was on earth. He was able to
do that because he was the God/
man. He had a human nature
WEEKLY DEVOTIONAL
BY DAVID BILDERBACK
and a divine nature which were
compatible without mixture
or confusion. One person two
natures. Man cannot be righteous in the sight of God on
his own merits. Therefore man
must have Jesus righteousness
imputed or transferred to him.
The cross is a public demonstration of Gods righteousness. God accounts or transfers
the righteousness of Christ to
those who trust him. (Galatians
3:6) Consider Abraham : He
believed God and it was credited to him as righteousness.
We do not become righteous
because of any inherent goodness; God sees us as righteous
because of our identification by
faith with his Son.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, May 28, 2024
OPINION
Facebook still trying to harass the right into silence
I pledge allegiance to the Lords of Facebook,
and to the platform which exists with Section 230
protections but still exercises its entitlement to
restrict or ban the content of my opinions; one ideology, uncontested, raking in billions in revenues
with an audience of like seeking grovelers, with
dopamine and obedience for all.
I dont know does that sound too chip on
your shoulderish?
Sometimes the frustration of the modern
media landscape forces a mild-mannered, humble newspaper man like me to reach far, far back
into the annals of free speech to a time when
people actually got a kick out of what you had to
say, even if they didnt agree with it.
It was a time when you picked up your mail
every day hoping for that magazine subscription
or checked your front step for the newspaper,
knowing those pages would carry gems that
you can talk about at the barbershop or at your
Rotary Club meeting or sitting on the sultry
southern Missouri front porch on a summer evening listening to the St. Louis Cardinals game
crackle across an AM radio.
And when that wistful bliss is shattered by
the hypocritical modern BS of social media,
all you can do is dig up an iconic 1973 cover of
National Lampoon and hope you get your point
across.
Because according to Facebook, the Kansas
Informer the amazing little digital information
gem invented by myself and two other co-conspirator newspapermen aimed at providing a
different perspective to statewide news than
the leftist bilge so often pumped out by corporate-owned and Soros-funded media in Kansas
needs to be catalogued and registered and
documented and location checked because.
wait for it sometimes we say things viewed as
politically edgy.
Thats my term not theirs. Zuckerbergs
minions delivered the message with much more
melba toast legalese a few months ago when the
Informer began placing or at least attempted
to place ads on Facebook to promote our content to Zucks gazillion users. Not so fast, the
FB palace guards of content restriction said:
Weve deemed you political content, so before
we will allow you to spend money with us, we
want your nameand your address and your
phone number.and the state where your corporate documents are filed and your inseam
measurementand your date of birth and the
approximate date you expect to die
It started to feel like the roadside drunk test
the cop gives Steve Martin in The Man With
Two Brains.
REVIEW COMMENTARY
DANE HICKS, Publisher
Eventually Zuck wanted to mail us a code
snail mail, mind you to have the post office
confirm we were actually where we said we
were, in case Zuck ever had to sick the UN black
helicopter squad on us for some reason. I had to
wonder if conservative-hating Media Matters
has to go through the same red tape to advertise
on Facebook.
Needless to say, by the time the letter finally
arrived from Facebook with the secret code
attached, we werent really much in the mood to
spend our money with these man bun-sporting,
lip-pierced, multi-pronoun fops. Instead we sunk
our marketing budget into these nifty gold-fleck
keychains which were going to airdrop across
Kansas from a rented surplus B-52.
Actually, we can tell in the difference between
our Facebook page traffic and the emails we get
and analytics from our website that for some
odd reason, our Facebook page seems to be significantly underperforming for us like maybe
the algorithum that determines how far your
post gets seen among your followers and beyond
might be ratcheted down a little tighter than it
was when we launched in December. Its hardly
a surprise, considering Facebook banned a sitting U.S. president because it didnt like what
he was saying and censored all kinds of Covid
information later confirmed as true, all the
while shrouding itself in the same protections
the phone company and the newsprint manufacturer have against being charged for crimes
people might commit using their products.
Facebook doesnt want to be held liable for the
damage its platform does, but it insists it should
be indulged with the right to manipulate the content it carries. Imagine your cell phone carrier
turning off your service for three days because
you texted someone that their new tattoo looks

Thank you.
No matter what they say, dont apologize for being American
I wont apologize to anyone for being
American.
It seems with technology and poor education
in civics classes, our younger Americans are
being fed a lot of bad information designed to
guilt them into feeling bad about our history.
We try to guilt ourselves about slavery, even
though we started the road to abolishing it right
in line with most every other nation. While the
United States banned the slave trade in 1808,
Sweden didnt ban it until 1814, and France
banned the trade in 1817. Britain didnt start
to phase out slavery in its colonies around the
world until 1833.
While the United States fought a Civil War
from 1861 to 1865 that ended slavery, Brazil was
still receiving slaves from Africa.
Mauritania, a country in northwest Africa,
was the last to outlaw the practice in 1981 even
though it is still practiced there today.
Human history should be ashamed of the
practice, but trying to define the United States
by it is ridiculous to anyone who has ever
opened a history book.
Women around the world also started to
receive the right to vote with many modernized
nations beginning in 1917 until the 1950s. With
the United States guaranteeing all women the
right to vote in 1920, we were closer to the beginning than the end, and we should take pride
in the effort to do so rather than those new to
the study of history discovering that women
at one time couldnt vote in America. They
couldnt vote virtually anywhere, and trying to
KANSAS COMMENTARY
EARL WATT, THE LEADER & TIMES
shame America for a natural evolution in society is another attempt to ridicule rather than
honor America for extending rights.
Lets also remember what allowed us to be
able to be so wrong about history the right to
be an idiot.
America does not outlaw stupidity or ignorance, and we are seeing a lot of it across college
campuses and elsewhere today.
But it is not a requirement to be informed in
this nation, nor is it a crime to provide the very
worst version of news like we see nightly on all
the major networks.
We are the only nation to enshrine freedom
of speech as not being able to be regulated by
government.
That is no small statement. As a matter of
fact, it might be the most important freedom
next to the governments inability to regulate
religion.
Its a double edged sword.
Fun, clean, popular speech needs no protections, but offensive, hateful, controversial
speech does.
The freedom of speech allows everyone the
right to say their piece without fear of imprisonment or physical attack.
I would proudly defend speech I do not like to
guarantee the right to have the open exchange of
any and all ideas.
If we silence one, we can silence all. Thats
why the founders made sure free speech was
untouchable.
And Im proud of our founders who were the
wisest among an era of Enlightenment, and I
make no excuses for them.
While they may have had the contemporary
views of women and slavery common in their
time, they laid a foundation that led to expanded
freedoms for slaves and women alike by making
historic, bold declarations including that all
men are created equal, that they are endowed by
their Creator with certain inalienable rights.
We said that. Our founders said that in a
world dominated by royalty and caste. No one
had the courage on the planet to break down
the boundaries between the haves and the have
nots, between the concept of the royal court and
the local tavern.
These men did. They dared to say that the
only limitations on a person are those they place

Merchans tyrannical treatment of Trump unsurpassed in U.S. law
I have observed and participated in trials
throughout the world. I have seen justice and
injustice in China, Russia, Ukraine, England,
France, Italy, Israel, as well as in nearly 40 of
our 50 states.
But in my 60 years as a lawyer and law professor, I have never seen a spectacle such as the
one I observed sitting in the front row of the
courthouse yesterday.
The judge in Donald Trumps trial was an
absolute tyrant, though he appeared to the jury
to be a benevolent despot. He seemed automatically to be ruling against the defendant at every
turn.
Many experienced lawyers raised their eyebrows when the judge excluded obviously relevant evidence when offered by the defense,
while including irrelevant evidence offered by
the prosecution.
But when the defenses only substantive witness, the experienced attorney Robert Costello,
raised his eyebrows at one of New York Supreme
Court Justice Juan Merchans rulings, the court
went berserk.
Losing his cool and showing his thin skin, the
judge cleared the courtroom of everyone including the media.
For some reason, I was allowed to stay,
and I observed one of the most remarkable
wrong-headed biases I have ever seen. The judge
actually threatened to strike all of Costellos testimony if he raised his eyebrows again.
That of course would have been unconstitutional because it would have denied the defendant his Sixth Amendment right to confront
witnesses and to raise a defense.
It would have punished the defendant for
something a witness was accused of doing.
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
ALAN DERSHOWITZ LEGAL ANALYST
Even if what Costello did was wrong, and
it was not, it would be utterly improper and
unlawful to strike his testimony testimony that undercut and contradicted the governments star witness.
The judges threat was absolutely outrageous,
unethical, unlawful and petty.
Moreover, his affect while issuing that unconstitutional threat revealed his utter contempt
for the defense and anyone who testified for the
defendant.
The public should have been able to see the
judge in action, but because the case is not being
televised, the public has to rely on the biased
reporting of partisan journalists.
But the public was even denied the opportunity to hear from journalists who saw the judge in
action because he cleared the courtroom.
I am one of the few witnesses to his improper
conduct who remained behind to observe his
deep failings.
Even when journalists do report on courtroom proceedings, their accounts must be taken
with a grain of salt. When you watch CNN or
MSNBC, you generally see an account of a trial
that never took place.
They spin the events so much that reality is
totally distorted.
I experienced that distortion firsthand yesterday, when I saw one of my former students and
research assistants, a CNN legal analyst named
Norman Eisen, during a break and went over to
him and asked him about his family. We chatted
for a few minutes in the most friendly way.
But NBC, the Daily Beast and other media
decided to make up a story about the event. They
claimed that I had a spat with my nemesis, rather than a friendly conversation with a former
student. Their account was made up, yet it was
circulated through the media.
To his credit, Eisen wrote to the media to correct the account, saying that the person sitting
next to him would confirm the medias false
reporting. I doubt we will see a retraction.
This minor incident is simply the tip of a
very large and deep iceberg of false reporting
about the trial that can only occur because the
proceedings are not being televised.
There are television cameras in the courtroom, and they record and transmit every word,
but not to the public; only select reporters in the
overflow room see what the cameras transmit.
There is absolutely no good reason why a
trial of this importance, or any trial, should not
be televised live and in real time. Allowing the
public to see their courts in action is the best
guarantee of fairness. As Justice Louis Brandeis

I would like to say to the person that called about
it being relevant that the County Attorney lives
in Anderson county, its not really relevant
other than the fact that she made a promise
that she would move to Anderson county. and
now all of a sudden shes renting a room from
someone so she can have an Anderson County
address so she can say she did what she promised. No, she did not.
I would like to know if the county attorney ever
paid back the tow bill that she paid with the

Okay so I came to work today and the railroad
crews had three of the four main roads into
Garnett from 169 blocked. I hope somebody
bothered to tell the hospital and the fire department about that. How would you like to have
to turn a fire truck or an ambulance around on
one of those hills because they pull up down the
road and find the road blocked and all the extra
time it would take. Not smart planning I think.

HISTORY
Last finds from 2024 old cabin site 40 years ago…A helipad at the hospital was completed to ease transportation
DIGGING UP THE PAST
Unfortunately these three
photos are of the last artifacts
dug at my two sites in 2024.
You will certainly have to bear
with me over the next couple
of months on what I might
share with you. I do have several artifacts that I found at my
great grandfathers cabin site
several years ago and then a
few artifacts found here and
there over the past 30 some
years.
All three of these artifacts
were found during my excavations at the old cabin site
in Greeley, Ks. This site has
been wonderful every day of
excavation Ive been there. So
many surprises, finding artifacts from the 1800s and early
1900s.
#1 – I really need help with
identifying this artifact. The
only two stamped marks I can
see are the rather large F & 4.
#2 – Im almost certain that
this is a solid Bronze horse harness buckle from the Civil War
era.
#3 – This is a swallow made
of very thin copper. What it
represents or how it was used
is beyond me.

Thanks to the diligent work
of Ron Young, Doug Hull,
and members of the Jaycees,
Anderson County Hospital
has access to a helipad to ease
patient transportation. The
40-foot square pad cost an estimated $2,660 and was recently
readied complete with landing
lights at each corner and an
accompanying eight-foot wide
walkway. The walkway was
intentionally constructed wide
enough to accommodate staff
members guiding a rolling gurney to the waiting helicopter.

The second annual National

in preparation, the Kansas
Legislature and Gov Joan
Finney have approved funding

Several wells in Anderson
County will be tested in the
next few weeks as a part of a
multi-state program to discover potential contaminants in
drinking water following the
record flooding from 1993. The
previous years test revealed
that 80 percent of the wells
checked were contaminated
with bacteria, and almost half
showed nitrate contamination.

them with the role of police
officers.

The City of Garnett agreed to

From April 2010 to December
2013, unpaid bills account for

meager quantity of write-off

A
trunk previously owned by
famed Garnett resident Arthur
Capper was recently located in
Arvada, Colorado. The wooden trunk with a small address
label reading Senator Arthur
Capper, Capper Bldg, Topeka
had a bit of government postage-free address return inside
it. After internet research,
trunk owner/rescuer Taylor
Garza and her mother Jeannie
Mitchel contacted the Anderson
County Historical Society. The
trunk is now on display at the
Anderson County Historical
Museum.
Inside the Military Room of
the museum is a plethora of
memorabilia, worn uniforms,
bomber jackets, photos of our
heroic dead, and things donated after a lifetime of care. In
the background, a video plays
a stream of smiling faces and
names to the strains of John
Philip Sousa marches.
The Military Room is as
large a collection as can be contained inside the four walls.
Items hung on the walls overlap with other essential pieces
to tell the story of Anderson
Countys continued patriotism. The personal items
available to see echo times of
service nearly a century ago
and can give insight into the

a visit to the museum. A large
piece of plywood is etched with
names as a roster from 1944
of the Harry Fuller American

to men who no longer stand
proudly at the call of attention.
The room and the display are
courtesy of an active member
of the Historical Society and a
24-year Coast Guard Veteran,
Mike Canavan.
Canavan says, Im most
proud of trying to get all the
artifacts catalogued and identified. The workload is intimidating at best due to the differing sizes of the artifacts,
sizes of personal collections,
and keeping them limited to
Anderson County-influenced
items. When large donations
are given, making sure each
item is catalogued with the
appropriate names assigned
to each item can be daunting.
All the years of handwriting
on the back of photos tend
to fade over time, just like
memories. Canavans passion for the carefully curated
room is palpable. A fervent
advocate for his fellow veterans, his selection of mannequin uniforms shows an
acute respect for all branches
and wars. As a historian, his
care for the catalog and small
taglines that give each items
provenance is as clear as his
pride in the community museum. Canavan advised, The
Military Appreciation Month
exhibit will be up a little longer; I hope people can come
enjoy it and spend some time
in the Military Room.

friends house? I have and it
was scary. Thanks for picking
me up Lucy I said as I jumped
in her moms car. We listened
to Taylor Swifts music on the
way to their home.
That night after we got to
Lucys house we got called by
Lucys mom. Girls come here
to play a game. We are going
to play Capture the Flag with
glow sticks. She handed us
a few of the glow sticks each.
She gave me a big, bright blue
glow stick. Ok, go put this
somewhere outside, she told
me. Ok, thank you I said as
all of my friends and I ran out
to the porch. I took off my
shoes because I didnt want my
shoes to get wet. As soon as
I went off the porch into the
dark, I ran to the playset. My
feet stung because of the sharp
grass. Then I got to the playset
and set the glow stick down on
a circle swing. At that moment
I got tagged. They marched
me to the jail on their side.
But then a scream came from
the backyard. We had no idea
what it was or where it was
coming from. So we all ran
inside to Lucys mom and dad.
I am sorry but I got too scared
in the dark so I screamed said
Grace, Lucys cousin. Then we
decided to stay inside the rest
of the night.
Lucys mom thought we needed some ice cream to make
the night better. Even when
things seem scary you have to
learn to find the sweet side of
the situation. Next time I will
play Capture the Flag in the
daylight.

The Old Lady
Pressley Hammes
5th grade, Central Heights
Mrs. Riemer
Once upon a time, there was
an old lady who was walking
around in a park looking at
the kids playing with their parents. There was this one little
girl that she had an eye on.
The little girl was all alone.
Her name was Grace Len. She
is 6. She has dark hair and was
pretty. She said she ran away
from her home because they
were abusing her.
The little old lady was poor
but she has run from the cops
many times but she is nice.
The old lady said she could
come to her home because she
had a foster kid who was her
age and named Gracie. And
her 44 year old daughter lived
there too. The little girl has a
secret and has not told the old
lady. The old lady took her to
her house and she and the foster kid Gracie played.
Sadly the little old lady got
sick. She had to go to the hospital. But how could they pay
the bill? After they got the little old lady to the hospital they
figured out she had a stomach
bug and might not make it.
Everyone was sad, especially
her daughter.
About a week later they got
told she was going to make it.
Everyone was so happy, even
the little old lady. After about
a year of Grace living with the
old lady, they heard a knock on
the door. It was a really popular company. As soon as she
opened the door they screamed
surprise!!! The little old lady
was so startled she fell but her
daughter caught her.
The old lady was so confused. Then Grace said all of
this was a test and she was
going to win $1,000,000. Spend
your money wisely. The first
thing we are gonna do is pay
the hospital bill. I am so happy
I lived. Now a new house! said
the old lady.

Once there lived a Spirit Wolf
named Vixie. She was a young,
pretty wolf. She was dark
gray with lots of ivy twined
around her ears, tail and legs,
and elegant silver markings
that glowed. She lived in the
green, fairytale-like forests of
Scotland in a large lush cave.
The cave was large and rocky
with a few holes in the ceiling
for the moon and stars to shine
in. There was a large, clear
waterfall that flowed into a

clear, cool stream. There were
vines hanging from the ceiling
and lush plants all around.
Vixies favorite thing to do
was to run around the forest
and leap up into the air. It felt
like she was flying through the
air on an invisible cloud but
always fell back down. She
also loved floating down the
stream on her back, watching
butterflies and birds chirping.
Vixies life was very peaceful.
Some people say that she still
wanders around the Scottish
forests, watching over all the
creative that live there.

wisely said a century ago,
Sunlight is the best disinfectant.
When I was a kid growing
up in Brooklyn, we used to
listen to the colorful account of
Dodger games rendered by Red
Barber on the radio.
Occasionally when I went
to a game and brought my portable radio, I could hear how
the old redhead, as we called
him, colorfully elaborated and
exaggerated what was occurring on the field.
Once television came along
and everyone could watch
the games live, the accounts
became far more accurate,
because we could see everything for ourselves.
A similar phenomenon
would operate if trials were
televised; it would force commentators to tell the truth and
nothing but the truth.
Today there is no check on
partisan reporting of trials and
exaggerations and personal
opinions are rampant.
The American public is the
loser.

Continuing education
The middle of May has
filled weekends with high
school graduation ceremonies
across the state. My calendar
was no exception with a niece
and nephew donning caps and
gowns to cross a makeshift
stage and receive their diplomas. I keep telling myself it
wasnt that long ago when I
was in those same shoes. The
reflection I see in the mirror
is a reminder it has been that
long.
One of the best things about
graduations is they're one of
the few events marking an end
where everyone from the graduates to those in the audience
is looking forward. Receiving a
diploma is worth recognizing,
but Whats next? is the only
question anyone asks newly
minted grads at the celebrations afterward.
I remember being quite certain my post-graduation plans
were logical but nave. In my
youthful enthusiasm, I envisioned a straight line of boxes
to check on the way to independence and adulthood. In reality
the path has included twists
and turns I never could have
imagined. And Im convinced
adulthood is a myth. Yes, Ive
aged, but I stopped maturing a
long time ago.
Of all the advantages of
youth, one of the major drawbacks is the lack of experience.
Unfortunately, theres no quick
fix for that. You have to earn
that slowly. In doing so, you
discover change is not only constant, but it also accelerates in
proportion to your age. As you
get older, the world goes faster.
This was driven home recently when I attended a showcase
for Kansas State Universitys
Institute for Digital Agriculture
and Advance Analytics (ID3A).
The institute is turning buzzwords like analytics, digital
and artificial intelligence into
real-world solutions that will
alter life for farmers and ranchers in profound ways.
The programs on display carried a lot of promise for things
like using satellite images to
estimate the yield of soybean
packaged distribution of meals
for the week. Child must be
present to receive a meal box.
Meals will be provided to
all children without charge,
and are the same for all children regardless of race, color,
national origin, sex, age or disability, and there will be no
discrimination in the course of
the meal service.
Free meals are available to
all children ages 1-18.

Many tribes sided with the

not come without consequence.
Wars are ugly, and the
battles between pioneers and
Native Americans were not

Similar battles happened
between the Spaniards and
Natives in Central and South

Prior to that, Native

Europeans warred with each

These advances are the result
of intentionally bringing faculty together from engineering,

Its easy to see an agricultural future where farmers arent
working at the acre level but
are caring for individual plants
in a field. The same is true
for livestock where herd health

rather it will be a quantitative
assessment. A whole new set of

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, May 28, 2024
LOCAL
REQUIREMENTS…
FROM PAGE 1
before they walk across the
commencement stage in 2028,
after the state school board
bumped up requirements for
financial literacy and health
education among other new
requirements.
The Kansas State Board of
Education (KSBE) approved
the amendments to the Kansas
Administrative Regulations
(K.A.R.). that govern new minimum high school graduation
requirements that will go into
effect for the class of 2028.
After holding a statutorily
required public hearing on
May 14 on the proposed amendments to K.A.R. 91-31-35, board
members voted to approve
the amendments during their
meeting the next day on May
15.
Currently, Kansas requires
a minimum of 21 credits to
graduate from high school. The
number of credits will remain
the same, but the following constitutes how the 21 credits will
be obtained going forward:
Instead of four credits of
English language arts (ELA),
students will now need 3.5 credits of ELA and one-half credit of
communication.
Addition of a STEM elective.
Instead of one physical education credit, students will now
need a half credit of P.E. and a
half credit for health.
Instead of six electives, they
will now need a half credit
for financial literacy and 4.5
electives aligned with their
Individual Plans of Study (IPS).
The graduation requirements also include student
completion of at least two postsecondary assets (as defined by
the KSBE). During the boards
May 15 meeting, members
approved the modification of
an asset and the addition of
another to the established list
of postsecondary assets high
school students can choose
from to meet their graduation requirements. One asset
includes students having an
attendance rate of 95%, up from
90%. Another asset includes
the student serving as an officer for a career and technical
student organization, or CTSO
(See below for the full list of
postsecondary assets).
Before the boards vote on
the amendments, several board
members said they couldnt
agree to adopt the requirement
that a student complete the
Free Application for Federal
Student Aid, or FAFSA, application. (If the completion of the
FAFSA ultimately becomes a
requirement, any student, family or school would still have
the ability to opt out of complet-
ing the FAFSA.)
The updated graduation
requirements, including the
submission of the FAFSA,
are the result of work done by
the KSDEs Graduation Task
Force, created in 2021, and
the Kansas Board of Regents
(KBOR) to encourage students
to apply for financial aid for
their postsecondary education
plans.
KBOR staff have reported an
estimated $40.5 million of federal aid went unused by Kansas
students who graduated from
high school in May of 2023. The
federal money has long been
seen as a vehicle for students to
pursue their higher education
who might not otherwise be
able to afford it.
Board members agreed to
further the discuss the FAFSA
item during their monthly
meeting, June 11-12, in Topeka.
The following is a list of
state board-approved postsecondary assets students can
choose from to fulfill graduation requirements:
ACT composite (Score of 21
or higher)
WorkKeys level (Silver or
higher)
9+ college hours
State Assessment scores of
3 or 4 in math, ELA, science
