Allen bonds out,
prelim delayed again
Bail reduction allows
suspect home release
with conditions
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW 11-23-2021 / BARB HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
MOUND CITY The man facing a second degree murder
charge in connection with
his mothers death in Linn
County last December is free
on bond, after a Linn County
judge reduced an initial $1
million bail and postponed
his preliminary hearing in
the case until January.
Judge Terri Johnson
reduced Rocky Allens bond
to $250,000 during what was
to be his Nov. 12 preliminary
hearing, but which Johnson
postponed at the request of
prosecutors and defense
attorneys until Jan. 18, 2022.
Prosecutors allege Allen
killed his mother in a forced
vehicle crash on Keitel Road
south of Parker in December
2020, charging that he
reversed direction to pursue a vehicle driven by 70
year-old Charlotte Grimes of
Garnett, smashing into her
car and pursuing it further
into a nearby pasture where
he struck the vehicle a second time. Grimes died at the
scene.
Allen was denied a bail
reduction and a transfer
to
Linn
C o u n t y
Jail from
his holding
facility in
Bourbon
C o u n t y
during
a
hearing in
Allen June, after
prosecutors
argued his
prior violent criminal history and personal assets made
him a safety and flight risk.
Conditions of Allens bond
included that he wear a GPS
monitor and remain at home
except for visits with his
attorney, court services or for
medical appointments. The
bond also prohibited drug or
alcohol use as well as any
contact with witnesses in the
case and requires Allen submit to random drug tests.
The judge set the preliminary hearing for 11:30 a.m.
January 18 in Linn County
District Court.
Sunrise last week from U.S. 169 northeast of Garnett showed a
brilliant color display, but the local area doesnt rank on the top
10 locations to view a sunrise in Kansas according to the state
department of tourism. Those locations, in order, are Coronado
Heights, Four State Lookout, Gypsum Hills, Horse Thief Reservoir,
Monument Rocks, Oil Well Hill, Point of Rockers, Quivira National
Wildlife Refuge, Silo Tower and Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve.
Christmas Parade, events
set to go this Saturday
ACSO joins other LEOs in traffic push for holidays
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT It met the same
cancellation fate as most
other public events during
Covid 2020, but the Garnett
Chamber of Commerce will
roll with its 50th (almost)
Annual Christmas Parade
this Saturday in downtown
Garnett starting at 6:30 p.m.
The theme for this years
event is Golden Christmas
Memories: 50 Years of Joy.
Grand marshals for this
years parade will be the
Chris and Natasha Goetz family who were originally slated
to be honored last year.
The Goetzs came to
Garnett more than 11 years
ago to take a post as youth
pastors with the First
Christian Church. Eight
years later Chris took over
the lead pastors post. He also
serves as chaplain for the
Anderson County Hospital
and serves on the Garnett
Area Ministerial Alliance.
Natasha mentors several
junior high and high school
girls, leads worship at their
church, served as the youth
pastor for a time, and currently works at Anderson
County Junior-Senior High
School as the choir teacher.
The Goetzs also were
instrumental in the founding of the Garnett Area
Paint Project and its efforts
to spruce-up and repair the
homes of needy individuals
in the area. Disc golf is one
of the familys favorite outdoor activities. Chris helped
to initiate and build the Long
Cedar Disc Golf Course and
Club at Lake Garnett Park.
We are so blessed and
humbled to have been chosen
as Grand Marshals for this
years Christmas Parade,
Chris said. Thank you all for
continuing to be a fantastic

Sheriffs officers will join agencies all over the country beginning with this weeks holiday
to push an expanded presence
on the countys roadways along
with a plea for drivers to drive
sober and be careful.
The
Special
Traffic
Enforcement (STEP) program
begins this week with a focus
on passenger restraint/seat
belts, according to Anderson
County Sheriff Vern Valentine.
But the major direction for
holiday enforcement will come
in patrolling for impaired drivers, Valentine said, and that
impairment may come from
prescribed medications as well
as alcohol or illegal drugs.
Remember you can get a
DUI if you are taking drugs
prescribed to you by a doctor if
it is deemed you are under the
influence of that or any drug
or substance while driving,
Valentine said. He warned
combinations of some prescription drugs and even small
amounts of alcohol can have
impairing effects even though
the volume of drink might not
ordinarily be enough to cause
impairment.
In no way is it worth it,
Valentine said. Not to mention the devastating effects of

Anniversary notes Houdinis Garnett visit
Harry Houdinis Garnett stop
124 years ago would later be
recounted as a turning point
BY DON CREEKMORE
SPECIAL TO THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
It was 3 a.m. on a cold November morning in 1897 when it was time to change
train cars. Harry and Bess wearily woke
and made their way to the next train, to
Garnett, Kansas. Constantly aware of their
only possessions, Harry realized the train
was leaving without two of their four travel trunks. He pleaded with the conductor
to wait, but he would not. Before he could
finish the sentence, Harry immediately
flew out of the passenger car and proceeded to lay face down on the tracks in front of
the train. Two brakemen tried to pull him
off, but his iron grip could not be defeated.
Finally, the train engineer exclaimed, his
damned trunks were onboard.
Harry and Bess were 23 and 21 years old
and barely had enough money to make it
to Garnett. The four trunks represented
everything they had, including one that
was very special. When the two stepped off
the train, no one in Garnett or the rest of
the world cared who Harry & Bess Houdini
were.
Today most are not aware that the great
Harry Houdini and his wife spent over two
months in Kansas during the winter of
1897 and 1898. The Houdinis had only been
married a few years and struggled to make
money as a magic duo. Barely finding
work in dime museums and circuses, the
pair were starving in 1897.
In the fall of 1897, an opportunity to work for a medicine
show called the California
Concert Company in Kansas
presented itself. The owners
offered the Houdinis $75 a
week to perform magic in the
evening shows and help sell
magic elixir on street corners
during the day. While working for a medicine show was
considered the bottom of the
entertainment hierarchy, it
was at least a paying job.
Their first stop was Garnett,
and it was a memorable one.
Bess and Harry would stay
at the rooming house of Mrs.
Belle Bennett on west 4th
Avenue. At night their shows
were at the Grand Opera
House located on the northside
of the town square on 4th
Avenue. The first performance
at the Opera House was on
November 17th. The reviews
in the Garnett newspapers
were positive, even singling

Shoe thieves identified
Monday, the Ottawa Police
Department posted pictures
asking for the publics help in
identifying two people, a man
and a woman, suspected of
theft from Shoe Sensation in
South Ottawa. Their images
were very clear on the camera and the public responded.
Ottawa Police Chief, Adam
Weingartner, says that thanks
to cooperation and tips from the
community, 40 year old Scott
Nickels and 29 year old Krystal
Kirkland, both of Osawatomie,
were identified, located and
arrested and charged with
Theft of Property. The Ottawa
Police would like to thank al
those who offered tips on who
the suspects may be and say
cooperation between the public
and law enforcement is one of
the keys to keeping crime down
in Ottawa.
City rejects housing project
The Ottawa City Commission
has rejected a Rezoning request
that would have paved the way
for a 53 Single Family Housing
Unit Project at 1742 South
Elm Street, prior to the unanimous vote to reject the project,
Commissioner Emily Graves
expressed her doubts about the
project, especially the traffic.
The City Commission rejection
came after the Ottawa Planning
Commission had earlier recom-
mended the project for approval. The Developers of the proposed project had no comment
after their project was denied
by the City Commission.

which shines a light on the
need for injury and violence
preventions.
Every day, 20 children die
from preventable injuries,
resulting in more deaths than

deaths are preventable. Safety
advocates across the Country

FEUERBORN
NOVEMBER 25, 1941 – NOVEMBER 13, 2021
George
Feuerborn
of
Overland Park, Kansas departed on his final flight from
this
earth
Saturday,
November 13,
2021. He was
79.
George
fought a courageous battle against
Alzheimers
for several
Feuerborn
years,
but
peacefully
surrendered to Gods calling.
George was born on
November 25, 1941, in Greeley,
Kansas the son of Ella (Miller)
and Ambrose Feuerborn. He
attended St. Johns Catholic
Grade School until the age of
11 when his father took a job
with Sinclair Oil Company and
the family moved to Wyoming.
There they lived at Station 3
where George attended a one
room schoolhouse. The family returned to Garnett, Kansas
in 1955. George finished grade
school at Holy Angels Catholic
School and graduated from
Garnett High School in 1960.
After high school he enlisted
in the United States Army and
served two years active duty,
of which 19 months were in
Munich, Germany. He attended George Wallace Community
College in Dothan, Alabama.
In 1970 he received Aircraft
Airframe and Powerplant
licenses from Aero Mechanics
School in Kansas City,
Missouri.
On June 19, 1965, he married Kay Young at Holy Angels
Catholic Church in Garnett,
Kansas. They began their life
together in Mission, Kansas.
Through their 56 years of marriage, Kay realized that when
George said he was going to do
something she may as well say
GO FOR IT because it was
going to happen.
George finally decided at
the age of 28 what he wanted
to do when he grew up. He
pursued his dream of being a
pilot despite the many challenges in aviation at that time.
Overcoming these challenges
made him determined to help
aspiring future pilots. He found
great joy in mentoring several
individuals pursuing a career
in aviation. George logged in
excess of 18,000 hours during
his 37-year career which literally took him around the globe. In
June 1971 he began his career
with Semo Airways flying a
mail route. He worked for six
different corporations taking
him and Kay to Mauldin, MO;
Dothan, AL; Memphis, TN; and
back home to Kansas City. In
addition to being a corporate
pilot, he was a flight engineer
for Braniff, Inc. He acquired
numerous type ratings during
his extensive career. When he
retired from Kansas City Life
insurance company in October
2007, he indicated he had saved
the best for last.
Activities he enjoyed were
playing basketball, running,
including 5Ks and many marathons, playing golf, and above
all riding motorcycles and
touring with his brothers and
friends. One of Georges favorite memories was his childhood
years at Station 3 in Wyoming.
He frequently talked about his
love of exploring the mountains
and rugged terrain there, creating new adventures hed never
experienced. He continued frequent visits back to Station 3
during his lifetime.
George and Kay also had
many adventures together.
At one point, the sight of a
U-Haul truck became sickening
as they moved from place to
place as a result of Georges
career. Through their working years the two made time
to visit relatives, long-time
friends, and vacation throughout the United States. During
retirement years they traveled
abroad. Most memorable for
them were a safari in Kenya,
Octoberfest in Germany, and a
Mediterranean cruise celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary. They also made lifetime memories RVing through
many states with friends and
their family dogs.
George and Kay are eternally grateful for the love of family
and friends. During Georges
final years enduring this cruel
disease, they were especially
blessed with wonderful support
from caregivers and other special people too numerous to list.
George was preceded in
death by his parents, a brother
Myron and sister-in-law Mary.
He is survived by his wife
Kay, brothers Glen (Nikki),
Larry, and Tom (Nancy), sister
Carol Pickert (Jerry), many loving nephews and nieces, dear
friends, and his dog Robbie.
A funeral Mass will be held
at Church of the Nativity in
Leawood, KS on Wednesday,
November 24, 2021, at 11:00 a.m.
The family will meet with relatives and friends at 10:00 a.m.
prior to the service. Interment
will be held at a later date in
Garnett, KS.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made
to Unleashed Pet Rescue or a
charity of your choice and sent
to Feuerborn Funeral Family
Home; P.O. Box 408; Garnett,
KS 66032. Condolences may
be sent to the family at www.

Colony Christian Church – The
Beginning of Man & Woman
Noah Gordon gave the
Communion Meditation telling
us the myth of King Midas.
King Midas had a daughter
named Marigold, and also more
gold than anyone else in the
world. He ended up loving his
gold more than anything and
anyone. In the story, a fairy
boy came to him and asked him
about one wish he could grant
him. King Midas' wish was that
everything he touched would
turn to gold. The fairy told him
that his wish would not make
him happy but granted it anyway. The next morning, everything he touched turned to gold:
his lamp, his dresser, even his
food and water. And then his
daughter Marigold came up to
him. When he gave her a kiss,
she too turned to gold. King
Midas finally realized that his
gold was not what was important, and he called to the fairy to
take all of his possessions, but
just to give him his daughter
back to him. We are reminded
that we often overlook what we
are truly thankful for, focusing
on what we don't have.
Pastor Chase Riebel gave
the sermon, "The Beginning
of Man and Woman". God
made Adam and placed him
in the Garden of Eden to tend
and watch over it. Then God
worked to make him a helper.
He created the birds, all the
wild animals and the livestock
and then took them to Adam
to name them. Since none of
the animals would be a good
helper, God created Eve out of
Adam's rib. When God presented Eve to Adam, Adam proclaimed "At last!". Presentation
is everything. Do we look at
each other like they are a

masterpiece made by God?
As beautiful children made
in God's own image? Do you
accept those around you? Your
spouse? Ladies, look for a man
ready to work and do God's will
and take care of you. A hard
working Godly man. Men, your
wife is a gift from God, a special masterpiece. Your spouse
should be the most important
relationship you have (after
God). God tells you to leave
your parents and join to your
spouse. Any relationship that
threatens your marriage must
go! God could tell that Adam
couldn't do it on his own so he
gave him Eve, but Adam didn't
do his duty by protecting Eve
from the devil. We must listen
to the Holy Spirit to guide us, to
strengthen our marriages. (Ref:

Never too late to
come back home
In the 15th chapter of Luke
Jesus tells a parable about a
wayward son who petitions his
father for his inheritance. The
father agrees to give the boy
his portion of the inheritance
and he leaves for a far country.
He makes many friends in his
new home and soon he runs
out of money. When he runs
out of money he also runs out
of friends. At about this time
a famine breaks out in the land
and he begins to be in want.
Soon he has no food so he gets
a job feeding pigs for a farmer.
The famine is so severe there is
little to eat and the boy longs to
fill his stomach with the pods
the pigs were eating. Because
he was Jewish he could have no
contact with pigs and stay ceremonially clean. Essentially his
life had fell as far as he could
go. He had no food and he had
tarnished his cherished Jewish
heritage of Judaism by being in
contact with the pigs.
He finally decided his only
recourse was to go home and
face his father. This parable
concludes with the boy returning home and finding his father
waiting to greet him. On his
return home the father says,
Lets have a feast and celebrate. For this son of mine was
dead and is alive again; he was
lost and is found.
The message in the story is
WEEKLY DEVOTIONAL
BY DAVID BILDERBACK
that of Gods incredible grace
and mercy no matter the depth
of our sins. It is a way of telling us that we all mess up-but
nobody messes up so badly that
they wont be forgiven once
they decide to come back to
God.
Sometimes the depth
of our depravity makes the
situation seem hopeless but if
we truly repent God is faithful
to forgive us. The son was
received back into the family but as a consequence for
his action his inheritance was
gone. Sometimes we have to
forfeit what we consider to be
the best for us to receive what
is better for us, eternal life
instead of a temporary inheritance as was the case in this
parable.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, November 23, 2021
OPINION
Sue the media back to the Stone Age
As far as members of the American corporate media are concerned, Kyle Rittenhouse
would have been more justified in setting fire
to a Kenosha, Wis., car lot during the 2020 Jacob
Blake riots than he was in using his rifle to
defend his own life.
The review of the actual events and the not
guilty on all counts verdict that culminated his
trial last week vindicated Rittenhouse. But the
18 year-olds life is already ruined; his prospects
for future employment and a normal life forever
impugned by his depiction as a raving vigilante, terrorist and white supremacist by the Joy
Reids, Joe Scarboroughs and Tariq Nasheeds of
the modern media culture. For that, Rittenhouse
should go back to court and sue the hell out of
them.
There was a time before the emergence of
Hate Trump, Race Bating media that talking
head entertainers representing the major media
influencers primarily targeted elected or public
figures, since defamation law has pretty much
declared that if you seek the public spotlight
you take what comes with it. But there was also
a sense among
A price must be paid by the media prethose accountable for Trump,
mind
treating Rittenhouse and you to avoid
their own worthy profes- untruth and to
sion with such malice. base stories on
evidence. Before
infotainment conglomerates adopted the radical Lefts agenda, truth and the reservation of
final judgment until the facts were known still
meant something. A price must be paid by those
accountable for treating Rittenhouse and their
own worthy profession with such malice.
Kyle Rittenhouse is only the most legally
actionable example of these offenses, of course,
which began when media coverage followed the
Lefts agenda of lionizing every minority thug
who gets killed or injured by police in the commission of a crime. In Kenosha, Jacob Blake was
sought on a warrant for his ex-girlfriends rape
when he wielded a knife at police at her home
and attempted to steal her car in the presence of
the cops. Theyd tased him earlier in the altercation but still couldnt subdue him. The heads
of the Democratic Presidential ticket at the time
worked Blake for full race-baiting exploitative
mileage, with Kamala Harris visiting Blake in
the hospital to tell him she was proud of him,
and Biden calling by phone to praise the familys
optimism and resilience and call for charges to
be leveled against the officers in the shooting.
Biden even used Rittenhouses image in a campaign video a month later as an example of the
imaginary Trump-led threat of white supremacy
in the country.
REVIEW COMMENTARY
DANE HICKS, Publisher
Apparently no lesson has been learned by
the media from the Nick Sandmann affair the
Kentucky high school kid who was maligned
worldwide by corporate character assassins
who swallowed whole the social media bilge
and never checked facts of Sandmanns incident with a Native American protestor while
on a school field trip to Washington, D.C., in
2019. The then 16 year-old won financial settlements for defamation from both CNN and the
Washington Post when their blatant lies about
the teenager were revealed by actual facts.
That compulsion to outright lie or, at the
least, to ignore facts if they lend credence to
conservatives or their ideology is nearly universally embraced by mainstream corporate
media. For 18 months media outlets regurgitated
the Russian Collusion hoax against President
Trump while ignoring the partisan genesis of
the Steele Dossier. While they gave race rioters across U.S. cities a pass in the summer of
2020, they characterize conservative rioters on
January 6 as white supremacists and insurrectionists in apparently the first unnamed
insurrection attempt in world history. Despite
consistent examples they give cover to and
deny critical race theorys osmosis into public
schools and the innate racism it encompassses.
They ignore both science and a womans right to
fair competition in supporting men who claim
to be women and want to compete in womens
athletics. They decry the slightest hint of affront
against the Black community and culture while
supporting its ultimate direct attack abortion.
Ethic and conscience and allegiance to forgotten journalistic standards ignored, corporate
media can now only be held accountable by the
court system. Kyle Rittenhouse should make
that point abundantly clear. ###

Another round of Covid is crossing our area.
As a professional person we ask everyone to
be considerate of others. This strain is more
severe. Do not assume you do not have Covid
when you have symptons. Get tested. Its the
only respectful thing to do.
I find it disgusting that this person who considers himself the Oscar Wilde of Garnett has been
allowed by the court system and by lawyers
to drag down and disparage the reputation of
a fine local judge who has been a great example for the local judiciary. Its true I guess in
court that you can say anything you want until
the trial actually comes. Im anxious for this
hearing on December 8 to expose this person
for what he is, primarily a liar. And I hope he
gets the full sentence due him under the law.
Thank you.
How many deaths does it take in a community before people start waking up? How many
deaths? This helper that the government is
so willing to push on everybody doesnt help
everybody, in fact it helps fewer people than
those who survived the virus. This is crazy
folks, wake up. Your time is running short.
I have to laugh about this new big pressure campaign to make you vaccinate your kids against
Covid. Here we go again. This is the most
immune part of the population, the death rate
is so small you almost cant count the decimals
you have to have to compute it. This is a vaccine
for kids but its really an attempt to try to cure
their Covid paranoid parents who will never
be satisfied that any amount of protection is
protection enough. Dont worry mom and dad,
you can always rely on the goverment to save
you. Thank you.
I think the majority of the TV commercials
these days are thoroughly disgusting. My dog
growls every time one comes on. I wont mention his pedigree.
Does CNN stand for crooked news network or
corrupt news network?
Build back better, should be called, break
American workers banks quicker bill. Free

COMMENTARY
Contact your elected leaders:
Three COVID deaths in Washington County
have occurred during the current second
surge of COVID-19 in Washington County.
They happened between Sept. 4 and Oct. 16,
according to the Kansas Department of Health
& Environment (KDHE).
During the first large outbreak in the county, there were 14 deaths attributed to COVID19 between Nov. 9 and Feb. 10.
Much of this decline in the death rate is a
result of people who are generally at higher
risk from the disease getting vaccinated. Now
that were essentially 20 months into this pandemic in Kansas, medical professionals have
also learned how to best treat people who are
sick with COVID and new therapeutic drugs
have been developed to assist in treatment.
The Linn Community Nursing Homes
recent experience with a COVID outbreak
shows how things are changing. Older people
with underlying health conditions (i.e. nursing home residents) would be by far the most
at risk of a serious reaction to being afflicted
with COVID. During the first surge, we saw
several deaths at nursing homes across the
DAN THALMANN, WASHINGTON COUNTY NEWS
region. But during the recent cluster situation
at LCNH, all of the residents who had positive
cases have recovered.
We know getting vaccinated does not guarantee someone wont catch COVID, but the
statistics have become fairly obvious that
your reaction to the disease wont be as severe
if you had been vaccinated.
This is great news! American healthcare is
beating this disease! President Trumps effort
to create a vaccine and therapeutics through
Operation Warp Speed has shown historic
success.
Want to kill all that momentum? Sabotage
the healthcare industry by enforcing President
Bidens vaccine mandate.
With the mandate, we are going to see hospitals, nursing homes and other healthcare
facilities, who have already been struggling
with tight staffing and over-worked employees, lose even more workers because they will
be fired for not getting the vaccine.
The CDC and KDHE have plenty of statistics available that show the risk of a
COVID-19 infection for various demographics.
Americans are able to consider their personal
risk based on that information and as a result,
they should be allowed the opportunity to
decide whether or not the vaccine is a good
strategy for them during this pandemic.

County News in Washington, Kan.
Joe Bidens incredible shrinking presidency
Joe Biden was never exactly a colossus bestriding the Earth, but hes been getting smaller by
the day.
A Washington Post poll over the weekend
suggested that his presidency is, for now, a
smoking political crater. It had him at a 41%
approval rating, despite the passage of his
long-sought infrastructure bill that was supposed to buoy him and his party.
Even more striking, the survey found that
Republicans lead Democrats on the generic
congressional ballot by 10 points, 51% to 41%,
an unprecedentedly strong showing for the
GOP that forecasts an earthquake, tsunami,
and maybe a few more natural disasters for
Democrats come next fall.
And who can be surprised? Biden is stumbling, out of touch, and weak. Two of his major
initiatives, at the border and in Afghanistan,
created completely avoidable catastrophes. He
has given no sense of being in control of events
or even his own party. He is an accidental
president who is running smack into his own
inadequacies and absurd pretensions.
No one in Washington over the last four
decades ever said that Joe Biden was just the
man with the foresight, wisdom and deft political touch to lead the free world.
No, he was an average senatorial bloviator
whose first two presidential campaigns flamed
out in embarrassing fashion, before he hit the
jackpot when Barack Obama choose him as
his running mate in 2008.
Showing the advantage of hanging around
for a very long time, Biden won both the 2020
Democratic nomination and the presidency
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
RICH LOWRY, King Features Syndicate
by default. In the primaries, the former vice
president looked good in comparison to Bernie
Sanders, and he ran in the general on not
being Donald Trump.
Now, Biden is allied with Bernie Sanders,
who helped write the first version of his Build
Back Better plan, and Donald Trump no longer
looms as large as Bidens foil.
The best case for Bidens presidency was
that he could be a kind of consensus caretaker — restoring a sense of normality and
maintaining a low profile while riding in the
slipstream of improving economic conditions
and a diminishing pandemic.
Instead, hes been carried along by the leftwing tide of his party and repeatedly engaged
in unconstitutional executive overreach. On
top of it all, hes brought his own brand of
incompetence, exemplified by the botched
pull-out from Afghanistan.
His foremost mistake was overestimating
an attenuated electoral mandate for pedestrian governance as a permission slip for passing
nearly the entirety of the progressive agenda
in the space of less than a year.
Not only has there been sticker shock over
the price tag of the Biden agenda, but it has
little connection to things people truly care
about. The infrastructure bill polls well, but
no one goes about their daily lives worried
about the alleged crisis of crumbling bridges
and tunnels.
Meanwhile, the Build Back Better bill started as a $3.5 trillion grab bag of everything
that progressives want but couldnt get in the
infrastructure bill. Passing as much spending
as you possibly can before you lose Congress a
year from now, which is essentially the rationale behind Build Back Better, is not a compelling reason for a historic spate of federal
spending.
That legislation has been pared down to
largely a child care and climate change bill.
Thats an unnatural pairing that came about
not because those are the top two things
that the public wants from Washington, but
because they happen to be what Democrats
think they can pass.
Only now is the White House trying to
argue that the infrastructure bill and Build
Back Better will address real public concerns,
namely the supply chain disruptions and the
inflation that is outpacing wage growth. This
is clearly a tendentious, after-the-fact arguSEE LOWRY ON PAGE 5A

The names being considered
for USD 365s new elementary
school in Garnett is a secret,
at least for now. But if kindergarten through sixth grade
students in Garnett had their
way the name of their new
elementary school would be
Bullpup Elementary School.
That probably wont be the
new name, but thats about
the only clue most USD 365
patrons will get before school
officials are ready to release a
list of suggestions.

David R. Victorino, M.D., is
opening a part-time practice
in Garnett soon in the small
white building on Highway 59
between the Anderson County
Hospital and the Sinclair
Station. He has had a family
practice in Moran since 1979
and plans to continue with
both practices. He is a native of
Hawaii and has applied for staff
privileges at Anderson County
Hospital. He has already
secured a nurse to work at his
Garnett office.
100 years ago…
There has been started an
effort to secure for Anderson
County a hospital for the
accommodation of the entire
county. It has been known, a
long time, that there has been
a crying need for such an institution where sudden emergencies and our own sick ones can
have proper care and attention. The securing of trained
nursing in the community has
been harder and harder as
months go by. This inability to
secure nurses has often caused
great hardships to the afflicted. A realization of this condition has caused the Anderson
County Medical Society to
make the effort to secure for
its patrons this necessity. The
Medical Society believes the
burden on the taxpayers will
be very light, and that only for
a short time, because the hundreds of dollars now paid to the
hospitals in other cities, if kept
at home, would be sufficient to
put our hospital on a paying
basis in a year or two after its
inception. This is not intended
to be for surgery only, but for
sickness also. People will soon
be asked to sign a petition for
our county commissioners to
call an election to put this proposition to a popular vote, and it
will be to your interest to sign
such a petition when presented.

on Friday, Nov. 26th. The news
was spread that the Houdinis
would reveal the name of a murderer on the loose in Garnett
after the recent unsolved
killing of a local woman. The
Opera House was packed that
night, and tensions were high.
The lights were turned down,
and Bess, the Psychometric
Clairvoyant, was put into a
dramatic trance by Harry. She
slowly revealed information
transmitted to her as she made
contact with the deceased.
Harry pleaded with the spirit
to reveal the murderer, then
suddenly Bess fainted and fell
to the floor, unable to reconnect with the departed.
Likely the next day, another sance was held. This time
the Houdinis made contact
with a local 6-year-old boy who
passed away on November 15th
and was buried in the Garnett
Cemetery. The boys name was
Joe Osborn and his parents,
Mr. & Mrs. Harry L. Osborne,
were in the audience. Through
Bess, Joe communicated to
his mom, Dont cry, Momma.
Therell be another one soon to
take my place. This compelling statement and total guess
by Harry floored the Osborns.
After the show, a seething Mr.
Osborn found Houdini and
gave him a tongue lashing, asking him why the clairvoyant
had shared with the crowd the
fact his wife was indeed pregnant and put his wife through
that horrible experience. The
incident left a mark on Houdini
that would stay with him for
the rest of his life.
The Houdinis would continue to perform sances for the
medicine show in Kansas but
under a cloud of moral quandary. Shortly afterward, Houdini
realized his disdain for sances. He would stop these performances and, in the 1920s,
becomes the worlds most vocal
and public figure debunking
fake mediums. In 1923 Houdini
would be performing in Kansas
City. After the show, Hallie
Nichols came backstage. She
told Houdini that she was at
the Garnett Opera House on
the night of the Osborn sance.
The Houdinis asked her if she
was still in contact with the
Osborns; she was. Houdini
would send the Osborns a personal letter apologizing for that
night. While these anecdotes
paint Houdini in a rather negative light, time, experience,
and fame would allow him
to make amends many times
over.
While in Garnett, Houdini
would also hone a specific skill
that would make him famous
worldwide only a few short
years later. The city jail was
in the city square in 1897, and
Houdini challenged Sheriff
Park Keeney to lock him in it.
Shaking his head, the sheriff
secured him in the cell and
then walked away. Before the
sheriff could take his seat,
Houdini was standing behind
him, free from the cell!
Before
the
California
Concert Company left town,
Houdini was approached by
Garnett business leaders. He
was offered $25 never to come
back and reveal more secrets.
Its unknown if he accepted
the money, but Houdini never
made his way back to Garnett.
The company would leave
on Sunday, Nov.28th, and make
their way to Osawatomie,
They would continue to Paola,
Pleasanton, Girard, Pittsburg,
Cherokee, Columbus, Galena,
Weir, Scammon, Coffeyville,
Chetopa, Cherryvale, and
Independence.
While never mentioned in
Garnett newspapers, the one
trunk Houdini prevented from
getting lost on the train would
be used extensively in shows
in Garnett, other towns in
Kansas, and eventually around
the world. That trunk was
the metamorphosis illusion,
which is now a priceless piece
of magic history preserved in
David Copperfields personal
museum of magic.
For the past 90+ years,
countless books, magazine
articles, TV shows and movies have detailed Houdinis life
personally and professionally. Out of all those sources,
none have solely focused on
the Houdinis vital time during
an eventful winter in Kansas
so long ago. While this article
presents some interesting facts
and stories about that time,
there are many more stories
and details to uncover.
I live in Wichita and started researching the Kansas /
Houdini connection in 2018. A
detailed book planned for publication in 2023 revealing not
only Houdinis performances
but also stories and details
associated with each Kansas
town he performed miracles
at is in the works.
I hope to discover long-lost
mysteries about the famed
sance performances, where
the Houdinis stayed in each
town, the Opera houses these
events took place at, the trains
traveled on, connections to
local citizens, etc. If physical
souvenirs such as posters, photos, letters, signatures, written
accounts could be discovered,
they would be valuable historical additions to the book.
I would ask for any help
filling in this magical history
of Houdini and Kansas history. All information collected
will be appropriately credited
in the book. Questions, comments, or information can be
sent to Don Creekmore at djc@

Covid seemed to have no
effect on Thanksgiving traffic
activity last year according to
the Kansas Highway Patrol.
The KHPs Thanksgiving
report from 2020 included 17
DUI-related arrests in comparison to 19 in 2019 and 16 in 2018.
Law enforcement issued more
tickets in 2020, with 1,019 citations issued compared to 785 in
2019. Other findings mentioned
adult drivers were issued more
citation warnings than teens.
KHP says they responded
to one non-DUI-related fatality crash and had one non-DUI
related fatality statewide over
the Thanksgiving holiday last
year.
Valetine noted national statistics showing 365 passenger
vehicle occupants were killed
in vehicle crashes across the
nation during the Thanksgiving
weekend of 2017. According
to those figures, nighttime is
deadlier than daytime in terms
of seat belt use. Over the 2017
Thanksgiving weekend, 57%
of passenger vehicle occupants
killed in crashes at night were
unbuckled, compared to 40%
during the day.
This was in 2017, and there
are most likely more drivers
on the roads today then there
were back then, Valentine
said. It use to be after midnight the roads and highways
were empty here in Anderson

the traffic never stops.
Valentine also reiterated
the threat of deer in general
on area roadways, particularly
right now due to the annual
deer rut. That breeding season
and the inattentive attitude of
deer will go on for another couple of weeks, he said.
We have worked approximately 10 deer vs vehicle accidents in the last five to six
weeks alone, he said.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW 11-23-21 / DANE HICKS
Kim Baldwin, McPherson
County farmer
Earlier this summer after
we had finished harvesting
our wheat crop and wrapped
up planting the rest of our fall
crops, my husband casually
mentioned that fall harvest
would take a while this year. At
that time, we had a lot of acres
of corn, soybeans and sorghum
growing that would all need to
be harvested before the end of
the year.
As the summer transitioned
to fall, the machines were
brought out of the sheds, and I
mentally prepared myself for
the long harvest ahead.
While the summer wheat harvest for us is an incredibly busy
two-week stretch requiring our
undivided time and effort to
get the grain out of the fields,
our fall harvest is much more
drawn out. I generally describe
the summer wheat harvest as a
sprint, whereas fall harvest is
definitely a marathon.
As August rolled into
September, my family transitioned into the long days of fall
harvest. September moved into
October, and the combines and
grain cart continued to traverse
the dirt roads to the next fields
awaiting their harvest while
our trucks methodically delivered the grain to local elevators. Lower temperatures and
less daylight ushered October
out and we settled into a colder November while the harvest
continued.
The food delivered to the
fields for the noon and evening
meals were intentionally warmer than the meals we started out
with just a few, long months
ago. The shorts and T-shirts
some of us wore at the start of
fall harvest have been traded in
for coveralls and sweatshirts.
The air conditioning in the
combine was turned off and the
seat warmer turned on. Satellite
radio tuned to baseball and football broadcasts earlier in the
season now occasionally plays
Christmas music.
Yes, this years fall harvest
absolutely fits that marathon
description. But my family has
much to be thankful for today
as we will not be in the field this
Thanksgiving. Our crew has
crossed that finish line and this
years harvest is now complete!
We have wrapped up this
years long harvest with the
help of many hands who dedicated their days and nights
to keeping the machines and
trucks moving the grain out
of fields. Our crew remained
safe and healthy during these
long days and nights that easily
and often become a blur over a
three-month period. Our days
were long, yet productive, and
harvest was bountiful. We have
so much to be thankful for this
year.
And much like someone who
has just completed another marathon, we will now rest and
recover before preparing for the
next race thatll be here before
we know it. Until then, we will
enjoy each others company and
be thankful for all that weve
been afforded.

KDOT
dealing
with
staffing
shortages
Kansas Department of
Transportation offices in southeast Kansas are committed to
keeping the highways cleared
whenever inclement weather
occurs.
In line with workforce shortages across the nation, KDOT
does not have enough equipment operators the agencys
primary snowplow operators
in a number of areas across
Kansas. These shortages create
the potential for highways to
not be cleared of snow and ice
as quickly as in the past.
The agency has dealt with
reduced staffing in the past, but
the shortages are greater this
year. Southeast KDOT offices
are about 22% short of snowplow operators needed to be
fully staffed, with a 30% shortage of needed equipment operators statewide.
KDOT is facing significant
staffing shortages in some
areas and will work proactively to clear Kansas highways by
shifting crews to affected areas
and pretreating highways and
bridges whenever possible,
said Secretary Julie Lorenz.
Our snowplow operators work
12-hour shifts and do their best
to keep the roads open and the
public moving.
To help address the shortage, the agency will deploy
all employees who have a
Commercial Drivers License
(CDL) to plow snow and hire
seasonal workers. For people
interested in working at KDOT,
go to the states employment
website at http://jobs.ks.gov/
KDOT will assist selected applicants in obtaining a CDL upon
hiring, including paying for
training.
It will be more of a challenge for our crews in north central Kansas to keep that same
level of service this winter,
said District Engineer Wayne
Gudmonson. We encourage
motorists to be aware before
and during winter storms and
possibly alter or delay travel
plans if necessary.
Before traveling, motorists
can check www.KanDrive.org,
KDOTs road/weather condition website. It is updated
24/7 for highway conditions,
overall weather information,
short-term closures and general alerts.
