Claim deal nets
Locke $30,000
County pays former ACEM
director to avoid litigation after
he files discrimination claim
BY DANE HICKS
GARNETT Former Anderson County
Emergency Preparedness Director Mark
Locke received $30,000 in back wages
and damages in a settlement signed with
Anderson County Commissioners last week.
A copy of the settlement
agreement,
stemming
from Lockes firing from
his position in January,
was not immediately made
available to the Review at
the time it was signed but
was provided earlier this
week.
Locke worked for the
Locke
county from the fall of 2022
to his dismissal in January
of this year after a tenure fraught with conflict and controversy with the ranks of local
law enforcement, fire department personnel
and ambulance service workers. He currently holds the post of Mayor of Garnett
as an elected city commissioner, and ran
unsuccessfully for Anderson County Sheriff
in November of 2024. He did not seek re-election to his city post in last weeks municipal
vote for his seat.
The settlement agreement says Locke

Aurora borealis made a rare appearance in the Sunflower State, but mostly only with the right cell phone camera.
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
COLONY A rare cosmic
light show lit up the northern skies in eastern Kansas
Tuesday night, but you probably didnt see it if you didnt
know where to look and to
use your iPhone as a looking
glass.
The Aurora Borealis, commonly known as the Northern
Lights, were visible over
much of the northern hemisphere, but the spectacular
nighttime view rarely makes
it as far south as Kansas and
if it does, its usually only visible with upgraded optics.
Those optics just happen
to be included in many of the
later Apple iPhone models,
and area stargazers who took
the plunge for some of the
later iphones and were tipped
off to the nights performance
were able to capture it.
The Aurora happens when
the sun ejects a major burst of
charged particles a strong
solar flare and/or a coronal
mass ejection (CME) that
sends a wave of energetic
plasma toward Earth. These
charged particles interact
with Earths magnetic field
and upper atmosphere (ionosphere), exciting oxygen and
nitrogen atoms, which then
release light as they returned
to ground state.
Because Tuesdays event
was unusually strong, the
auroral oval the usual
zone where aurora are visible expanded farther south
than usual and brought the
phenomenon to Kansas skies.
According to the Space
Weather Prediction Center,
GARNETT Anderson County
commissioners last week
removed one of their appointed board members from the
Southeast Kansas Mental
Health Center board and
replaced her with a sitting
county commissioner, as controversy surrounding the six
county regional service center
appears to continue unabated.
Commissioners voted to
remove the countys most
recent appointee, Melanie
Wallace, from the post and
appointed District II County
Commissioner Mike Blaufuss
to serve Wallaces unexpired
term. Blaufuss told commissioners on Monday the move
apparently scuttled a planned
special SEKMHC board meet-
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
ing set for this week, apparently intended to entertain a
board vote on a designation
change for the organization to
increase the amount of federal healthcare dollars to which
COLONY The Colony teen who pled no contest to setting fire to the Colony Community
Church the day after Christmas last year
was sentenced to 12 months probation and
$2,000 as part of a plea
agreement late last month.
In exchange for the no
contest plea on an initial
arson charge as well as a
charge of criminal damage to property, a second
previous charge of property damage as well as an
aggravated assault charge
Robb
against 16 year-old Kaiden
Robb was dropped.
The no contest plea stemmed from an
incident that resulted in the destruction of
the Colony Community Church the day after
Christmas last year. Under Kansas a plea

Write-ins win the day in local races
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT Two out of five latecomers motivated to run as write-in
candidates for USD 365 School Board
posts in last weeks election won
seats on the board along with the sole
candidate to meet the June 2025 filing
deadline.
Write-in votes tallied and reported
as a part of Mondays official canvass of the local vote showed writein candidates Skip Landis winning
his race for Position 5 with 291
votes over fellow write-in contender Steven Bundy with 84 votes, and
Anne Marie Strobel winning her candidacy for Position 4 with 236 votes
over Kevin Gunner Calley with
90. Forty-seven additional write-ins
were cast for Position 5 and 81 additional for Position 4. Incumbent Gina
Witherspoon filed to retain her post,
and won with 554 votes over write-in
candidate Chris Brady with 164 and
14 additional write-ins.
Bundy, Calley and Brady were
supported by the Anderson County
Republican Party in an attempt to
press more conservative influence
onto the boards
makeup. A number of factors may
have instigated
more
write-in
interest in those
USD 365 school
board seats in this
election, including revelations
Landis
about declining
ACT test scores
among recent high school graduating
classes and a recently approved 19%
spending authority increase in the
coming years district budget.
In other races Susan Wettstein won
the Garnett city Commission race
with 305 votes to Heather Wadewitz
with 104 and Justin Thompson with
106. A total of 521 votes were cast on
the Garnett City Sales Tax question,
341 in favor and 180 against.
Angela Black won the Colony
mayors race with 43 votes; Jeremiah
Thompson won the race for Colony
City Council member with 35 votes
followed by Terry
Jackman with 18
and 19 write in
votes.
Linda
Hill
won the Greeley
Mayors race with
11 votes. The top
Strobel
five write-in vote
getters in the
Greeley City Council race were Ryan
Hermreck with 12, Matt Wooldridge
11, Amy Miller 8 and Stephanie
Katzer and Jennie Brown both with 7.
James Kiefer won the race for
Kincaid Mayor with 13 votes to Harry
Funks 7. Write-ins massed only four
of five available seats for Kincaid

GORDON
OCTOBER 6, 1939 – NOVEMBER 4, 2025
Frances Ann (Grabbe)
Gordon, 86, of Pomona,
Kansas died Tuesday,
November 4, 2025 of natural
causes.
Frances was born on
October 6, 1939 in Hays,
Kansas, the oldest of
Clarence and Lillian
(Coupal) Grabbes eight
children. She married Jim
Gordon on April 19, 1958
and lived in Hays until
they retired to Pomona, KS
in 2005. Married 67 years,
their commitment to each
other was a wonderful
expression of devotion and
an inspiration to many.
Working
as
a
Receptionist / Office
Manager at the Immaculate
Heart of Mary Catholic
Church for many years
and later as the Music
Department
Senior
Administration Assistant
at Fort Hays State
University, this satisfying
work provided many opportunities for her to connect
with people who shared
her passion and faith. A
devout Catholic, Frances
was involved in numerous
Catholic organizations and
initiatives throughout her
life. She loved animals, travel, music, and especially
reading. This prompted her
to become a co-founder and
organizer of the very first
Pomona KS Community
Library. She created many
craft projects, enjoyed crochet, knitting, and was a
lifelong quilter. Many
friends and family have a
special remembrance of her
through a gifted quilt made
with love.
She is survived by her
beloved husband James
Gordon and their family:
Daughters: Anne Gordon
of Wyoming, Kathryn
Copple (Ken) of Nebraska,
Victoria Homeier (Rick) of
Colorado and Jackie Gordon
(Gianni Tozzi) of Italy.
Grandchildren: Jessica
Casper, Shelbie Casper
(Chase McDaniel), Lillli
Halteman (Aaron), Iacopo
and Nicolas Tozzi; with the
addition of Touch Copple
and Will Copple (Alissa).
Great-grandchildren:
Quinton Casper (Kaitlyn),
Devon Casper and Alice
McDaniel along with
Sawyer, Daughtry, Millie
and Charlie Copple. GreatGreat
Grandchildren:
Castiel and Azalea Casper.
Siblings: Donna Farrell
(Bob), Wayne Grabbe
(Judy), Richard Grabbe
(Cheryl),
and
Lorri
Leibbrandt (Doug) as
well as her sister-in-law,
Dorothy Thompson. She
was preceded in death by
her parents and two sisters: Marian Warfel (Sam),
Patricia Newell (Leroy) and
a brother, David Grabbe
(Kathy). Many cousins,
nieces, nephews, extended
family, work colleagues
and dear friends mourn for
her as well.
Instead of flowers, the
family suggests memorial donations to the Sacred
Heart Church Ottawa,
Northeast Kansas Animal
Welfare
Foundation
(nkawf.org) or East Central
Kansas Area Agency of
Aging, Ottawa.
A funeral mass will be
held Saturday, December
27th, 2025, 11:00 a.m. at
Sacred Heart Church 408 S.
Cedar St. Ottawa, KS 66067.
Lunch and a short memorial service will follow at
the Sacred Heart Church
Parish Center.

disciples who had fished all
night without catching anything but when Jesus told
them to cast their nets, they
caught so many fish the
boats sank. After that He
made them fishers of men
because true prosperity is
sharing the love of Christ
with others. Reiter made
the point that "No one is so
poor as he who has nothing
but money."
Pastor Chase Riebel
used James 3:1-18 for his
sermon "Tame the Tongue."
The tongue although very
small has a lot of power. It
should be used for good, to
praise God, instead of for
evil, filled with poison. It is
not right for blessing and
cursing to pour out of the
same mouth.

In Romans 12:2 Paul the
apostle urges the Christians
in Rome by saying, Do
not conform any longer to
the pattern of this world
but be transformed by the
renewing of your mind.
Conforming to the latest
fad going on around us is
what many people do. That
can relate to the latest communication device, how we
dress, what we drive and
on and on. What we dont
realize is this rush to conform has taken our mind
over. Question? When was
the last time you really sat
down and thought about
something before you did
it. We need to ask ourselves
some tough questions, is
this necessary, can I afford
this, are there consequences with this decision? With
easy credit it is not hard to
dig ourselves into a deep
hole. You see our desires
are naturally bent toward
the world and the things
in it. We are only doing
what comes naturally to
us. I am a classic case of
conforming to the world.
In 1979 we bought a farm
and it continued to expand
creating debt. Credit was
easy and prices were high.
In 1984 this all changed and
it all came crashing down
in 1985. When times are
really good we dont often
think about potential consequences just potential
opportunities. Conforming
to the worlds pace and
greed is a race to see if we
WEEKLY DEVOTIONAL
BY DAVID BILDERBACK
can reach a bar the world
has set that is unattainable. Conformance fuels
our desire for instant gratification. As I said we are
only doing what comes
naturally so something has
to happen for us to change
that. Renewing our mind
is the only way to break
our natural inclination to
conform. The quickest way
to evaluate whether someones mind has been transformed is to determine to
what degree their lives
are affected by their faith.
When faced with a choice,
what drives that choice?
A desire to conform or a
desire to hold to the faith?
Perhaps the toughest decision you will ever make is
whether you will be driven
by the world to conform or
by God to be transformed.
Conformance leads to consequences, transformation
leads to blessings from God.
Ministry on the
Holiness of God.

OPINION
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Thursday, November 13, 2025
They hated Lincoln too, before Mount Rushmore
Trump lovers love to pester cranky
Democrats with the idea of Trumps face
being added to Mount Rushmore. Never!
You say?
Remember a guy named Abraham Lincoln?
Its hard to imagine any president could
have been hated more by such a segment of
the country as Donald Trump is, but its all
been said and done before. Lincoln spent
his presidency weathering a barrage of
insults, personal ridicule, and accusations
of tyranny that sound eerily like the words
of any leftwing social media page today.
Throughout the Civil War, newspapers, pamphleteers, and public figures
used Lincoln as a lightning rod for anger
over the nations bloodiest conflict. Rivals
attacked not only his policies, but his
appearance, intelligence, and very legitimacy to hold the nations highest office.
Lincolns opponents quickly seized on
his lanky frame and frontier upbringing.
The Chicago Times once derided him as a
cross between a sandhill crane and a potato bug, while the Richmond Examiner
described him as the obscene ape of
Illinois. Political cartoons frequently portrayed him as a gangling fool, a clown, or
even a gorillaimagery widely circulated
in the North as well as the South.
Even some of his own military leaders shared the sentiment. Gen. George
McClellan, revered early in the war, privately referred to Lincoln as nothing
more than a well-meaning baboon.
Pamphlets of the era often pictured
him wearing a crown and trampling the
Constitution underfoot. Democratic newspapers regularly portrayed Lincoln as a
radical bent on social upheaval, claiming
his policies would lead to forced racial
equality and interracial marriageclaims
designed to inflame Northern racial anxieties. Editorials warned that re-electing
Lincoln would mean, in their words, your
daughters married to Negroes. The New
York Herald blasted the Emancipation
Proclamation as a monstrous usurpationfor the sake of the Negro.
That rhetoric became a cornerstone of
the 1864 presidential campaign.
While racist attacks dominated
Democratic presses, Radical Republicans
and abolitionists criticized Lincoln for
the opposite reasonbelieving he moved
too slowly on emancipation. Frederick
Douglass wrote in 1862 that Lincoln
remained cold to the rights of my race,
and William Lloyd Garrisons Liberator
accused the president of being weak, vacillating, and timid.
There he was the future face of Mount
Rushmore squeezed between factions
who saw him as either a dangerous radical
or an ineffective bumbler.
Military setbacks intensified the
assaults. After the Union defeat at Bull
Run, the New York Tribune declared the
country ruined, past all hope. Political
cartoonists joined the fray, publishing
images of Lincoln as a drunk, a devil, a
butcher, and a fool. Despite the venom,
Lincoln pressed onlargely avoiding
direct retaliation and insisting the nations
survival required a steady hand, not a furious counterattack. His private secretary,
John Hay, noted in 1863 that the president
was the most maligned man of his time.
In hindsight, Lincolns legacy endured
while most of his detractors faded into
obscurity. But the record is clear: long
before Americans carved his likeness in
stone, the 16th president faced a level of
public abuse unrivaled in American political history except for maybe today. ###

We have an extensive, sophisticated
program to continually kick the tires

simulations and the like to establish that
everything is in working order. But there
is no substitute for explosive tests to
ensure that the computer models arent
missing anything and to make it possible
to adjust them with explosive data, especially as our arsenal has changed over
the last 30 years.
We should have 100% certainty about
the safety, security and reliability of our
nuclear arsenal, upon which so much of
our national security depends.

Yes, Mr. President, we should be testing our nukes
Yes, test our nukes.
Donald Trump has trampled on another taboo, and its a good thing.
The president said in a Truth Social
post that the United States will begin
immediately testing our nuclear weapons on an equal basis with
Russia and China. Its not clear what this
means exactly. Trump could be referring
to the delivery systems that carry nuclear weapons or the weapons themselves.
If it is the latter, as most news accounts
assume, it will represent an advance for
the U.S. nuclear deterrent and a victory
of common sense over superstition.
The United States conducted more
than a thousand explosive nuclear tests
during the Cold War, but gave up the
practice in 1992. Since then, its come to
be considered a moral imperative that
we dont test, for no good reason.
Obviously, we arent going to conduct
atmospheric tests again at Bikini Island
in the Pacific or the Las Vegas Bombing
and Gunnery Range. Beginning in the
1960s, though, we carried out explosive
tests deep underground, mostly at the
Nevada Test Site. Assuming that tests
are safely controlled and contained,
there is no good argument for not conducting them as warranted.
There is nothing immoral about testing, and testing a bomb doesnt necessarily lead to using it, or we wouldnt have
conducted hundreds of tests — including

national tensions doesnt make much
sense. What is Russia going to do if we
conduct a nuclear test? Invade Ukraine?
Certainly, Pakistan and North Korea
havent been dissuaded from getting
nukes. Please, you should like us — and
forswear your own nuclear weapons -because we dont do tests isnt a compelling argument for any of our adversaries
overseas. Otherwise, we wouldnt have
had to bomb Fordow and Natanz.
China and Russia may already be
conducting their own nuclear tests. In
recent years, reports from both the State
and Defense departments have said that
Russia has violated the so-called zeroyield standard that it is supposed to
be honoring by conducting supercritical
nuclear tests. (Since Russia routinely
cheats on all its commitments, this is not
a surprise.)
More to the point, both Russia and
China have been developing new warheads and delivery vehicles. In other
words, they acquired new weapons while
we were testing, and have been acquiring new weapons while we havent been
testing. The consistent thread is developing systems to project their power and
threaten us. These are cold-eyed countries that will do whatever they consider
in their interest, regardless of how much
we might like to think our moral examSEE LOWRY ON PAGE 6

Diamond or cut glass stone? 130 years ago…Garnett – 2,000 people, 20 joints and 11 churches
This week I will be sharing with you three photos
of my last finds before my
stroke. It seems like ages
since I have been out to
my dig site. Right now Im
working on getting my
strength back by doing my
home daily exercises. Its a
slow process, but Im gaining on it.
#1 – This was a real surprise when I found this
stone wedged between two
rocks of the foundation. Ive
turned it over to the landowners and they are going
to have it checked to see
if it is a real diamond or
a nice cut glass stone. If a
diamond, it would be about
1/8th cwt.
#2 – This appears to be a
furniture pull. As you can
see the pull ring is made of
iron and the back plate is
made of brass. Quite ornate.
#3 – A very old tin 4-tine

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Thursday, November 13, 2025
LOCAL
Lions donate tourniquet kits to sheriff, police departments
Lion President Skip
Landis called our meeting
to order at 6:30 PM with
fourteen (14) members in
attendance.
The Pledge of Allegiance
was recited, The Lords
Prayer
offered,
and
America was sung.
The Secretarys minutes
were provided at our tables.
Lion Mike seconded the
motionthe motion passed
by acclamation.
Lion John motioned that
we approve the minutes as
presented.
The Treasurers report
was given by Lion Dave.
Secondedthe
motion
passed by acclamation.
Lion Richard motioned
to approve the Treasurers
report. Lion Clarence secondedthe motion passed
by acclamation.
Lion Dave made a
request that we increase
the fiscal budget for this
year by $200 due to the
amount in our treasury.
Lion Chelsey motioned to
increase the fiscal 25-26
Budget by the $200. Lion
Clarence
secondedthe
motion passed by acclamation.
OLD BUSINESS:
C-A-T Tourniquet and
Trauma Kit Project: Lion
Mike provided a quote to
the club from Everlite for
a total of 22 kits, including 10 extra tourniquets,
at $2,662.90. Lion Mike
explained that the need for
extra tourniquets was only
for the Sheriffs deputies
because the Garnett Police
already had a tourniquet in
their present, expired kit,
so they could retain that
tourniquet and combine it
with the new kit. Lion Mike
advised that quote included a 10% discount and free
shipping. Lion Clarence
motioned that we accept
the quote of $2,662.90 for the
purchase of said kits and
extra tourniquets.
Membership Trifold:
Lion Chelsey advised that
she would have a proof
prior to the next meeting
of a Tri-fold that we can use
for membership drives. She
advised if she gets it completed prior to the meeting,
she will send out a sample
of the item for any updates
and/or changes.
Lions Meals: Tonights
meeting being the exception, weve had several
meetings where only five or
six are eating the prepared
meal. Concern is that the
VFW continue to generate
enough income from the
meeting through the meal.
This discussion was tabled
for a future meeting.
NEW BUSINESS:
Highway Clean-Up: This
project continues to be an
issue for participation with
our club. We have tried
several different groups to
partner with for this with
little to no help past the
first few schedulings. Lion
Dave voiced opposition
for the continuation of the
project due to our aging
membership. Lion Dave
also suggested that Lion
Chelsey reach out to the
SHOW…
FROM PAGE 1
Kansas lies far south of
the typical aurora zone
and normally youd need
really strong geomagnetic
storms to observe the aurora this far south. Tuesday,
a G4 (Severe) geomagnetic
storm watch was issued for
the region, indicating conditions were strong enough
for the aurora to extend
considerably south. The
combination of the intense
solar eruption and favorable local conditions (clear
skies, dark horizon) made
the sighting possible.
Still, it was barely viewable without the mechanics
and digital enhancement
of a cell phone. Sheena
the organization can bill
services.
SEKMHC
Executive
Director Nathan Fawson
did not respond to an email
earlier this week seeking clarification on that
change.
The organization has
been wracked by controversy since last summer, when
high salaries drawn primarily from federal Medicaid
billings Fawsons exceeded $600,000 for SEKMHC
staff were revealed from
the organizations public
record non-profit IRS filings. Anderson County
Commissioners said they
had understood but not
McGhee of Colony photographed the front page
photo with an iPhone 17
Pro/Max. The combination
of better optics a larger
sensor and better lens as
well as smarter software
enhancing night mode,
noise reduction, and processing, gives a much higher chance of actually seeing
the aurora in your photo
(and often in your viewfinder preview) compared
to older phones.
The common green glow
comes from excited oxygen
atoms at lower altitudes;
reds/pinks/purples from
higher altitudes and/or
nitrogen excitation.
by Frontier Extension
District
Dr. Cassandra Olds,
Livestock Entomologist at
Kansas State University,
will be the featured speaker. She will discuss two
emerging pests that pose
potential threats to livestock production in Kansas:
The Asian Longhorned
Tick and the New World
Screwworm. Dr. Olds will
cover how to identify each
pest, what steps to take if
they are found, and the diseases or damage they may
cause to livestock.
On October 7, the
Kansas Department of
Agriculture
confirmed
the first detection of the
Asian Longhorned Tick in
Kansas. It was found on a
dog in Franklin County.
While one confirmed tick
yet confirmed that an
additional round of salary
increases had been implemented since the controversy began. Fawson
was also asked for details
about these alleged salary
increases but did not return
our e-mail.
Subsequent to the revelation of SEKMHCs salary plan, each of the six
member district counties
(Anderson, Woodson, Allen,
Linn, Bourbon and Neosho)
all substantially reduced or
declined altogether their
traditional annual budget
allotments to the organization in the summer budgeting period.

does not mean there is an
established population, its
critical to raise awareness
about the diseases this pest
can carry and the potential
impact on cattle herds.
A primary concern is the
ticks ability to transmit
Theileria orientalis Ikeda,
a protozoan parasite that
infects red and white blood
cells. Infected cattle can
develop anemia, weakness,
and, in some cases, die.
Unfortunately, the disease
is not treatable with antibiotics, and infected cattle
remain carriers for life.
The Kansas Veterinary
Diagnostic
Laboratory
at K-State is one of only
three labs in the U.S. with
a validated test for this disease. Since 2022, the lab has
tested nearly 2,000 samples
from across the country,

for back wages he alleged
he was owed, $23,000 for

and other non-wage damages, and a $2,000 payment

In exchange for Lockes
dismissal of the claim, the
agreement specifies the

those claims and agrees to

In addition to animal
health concerns, the Asian
Longhorned Tick can also
transmit Rocky Mountain
Spotted Fever to humans.
People are encouraged to
take precautions when in
wooded or grassy areas
wear long sleeves, use
insect repellent, and check
for ticks after outdoor
activities.
The
New
World
Screwworm is another
serious pest that threatens
both livestock and wildlife.
Although it was eradicated in the U.S. in the 1960s
(and again following a 2016
outbreak), changing infestation patterns are raising
concerns about reintroduction.
As of September 2025,
the nearest confirmed case
was detected in northern
Mexico, less than 70 miles
from the U.S. border
marking the northernmost
detection of this outbreak.
While the New World
Screwworm is not expected to survive year-round in
Kansas due to climate conditions, there is still a risk
of introduction through
the movement of infested
animals, especially during
the spring and summer
months.
Please mark your calendars and plan to attend
this informative event on
December 4th at 7 p.m. at
the Overbrook Livestock
Commission, 305 W 1st St., in
Overbrook. Understanding
these emerging threats is
key to protecting the health
of both livestock and people
in Kansas.

ple is affecting them.
Now, theres no doubt
that getting our capacity to
conduct an explosive test
back up and running will
take time, even if Trump
and his team remain committed. The president
might finish the new White
House ballroom before
any renewed testing, and
Nevada, no doubt, wont be
thrilled by once again hosting underground nuclear
explosions.
Yet, Trump is acknowledging an important reality. We have nuclear weapons and they are a central
part of our defense and, by
extension, that of many of
our allies. To not test them
— prudently and safely — is
an asinine leftover from the
immediate aftermath of the
Cold War that doesnt serve
our interests or make the
world safer.

Our Skye is a 3-month-old fawn in color, Husky mix. She
will be medium to large once fully grown. This puppy girl
is very food-motivated, making training a breeze. Skye is a
full-time goofball, fun-loving and playful outside. She sleeps
like a dream in her kennel without a peep but wakes up
ready to play (and eat) in the morning. Skye loves snacks,
but who doesnt? Skye is spayed, microchipped, current on
age-appropriate vaccinations and flea/tick/heartworm prevention. Her adoption fee is $275. Meet-and-greets will be
scheduled with approved adopters. If you are interested in
Skye, fill out an application at PawsitiveTailsKC.org.

contendre avoids a specific admittance of guilt but
is a concession to the sentence of the court on the
charges. The result is the
same as a guilty plea the
court enters a conviction
and the defendant faces the
same criminal penalties,
fines and sentencing. A no
contest plea generally cannot be used as an admission
of fault in a separate civil
lawsuit stemming from the
same incident.
Robbs probation agreement makes standard stipulations, noting but not
detailing a community service requirement, consenting to possible searches of
his person, property, residence and personal effects,
prohibits use of or trafficking any alcohol or drugs.
A copy of the churchs

agreement
was included in the court

included $2,000 in restitution toward that agreement

of the group, Kyle Trendel,
managed to win eight of
the 10 games played. The
remaining results are as
follows: John Walter won

won the least number of
games. Everyone seemed to
have a good time and a lot

believe. In Coffey County,
there are a whopping three
Democrats that ran for precinct committee positions.
Ill bet Anderson County is
similar. I hear that Kamala
Harris is ramping up a campaign to run for president
again. You didnt nominate
her last time. Will you run
her again and lose again?
Will you let your leaders
continue to advocate for the
20% support position on an
80/20 issue? Will you continue to allow many people to die from drug related
issues and just sigh and say
stuff happens? Get off your
butts, denounce the violence and protests, and take
advantage of the freedoms
you have to participate in
the political decision making process. Thank you.

Those three guys you ran,
