Cornstock comeback to host 1990s legends
Highly-reviewed show to
land at event after hiatus,
three acts yet to be named
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT The Christmas surprise
was announced at Saturdays Garnett
Area Chamber of Commerce parade,
but it wont get here until September
the 2022 Cornstock Concert on the Hill
features the Roots & Boots Tour of
Aaron Tippin, Sammy Kershaw and
Collin Raye.
Cornstock committee member
Susan Wettstein said the committee
locked down the September 24 performance earlier in the week but wanted
to make a grand announcement to
boost excitement around next years
Cornstock comeback. The event was
cancelled last year due to Covid and
was weathered out the previous two
years in a row.
Were excited about this and we
wanted to be dramatic, Wettstein
said. This is one of the biggest celebrity country music tours on the road
right now and we were lucky enough
to book them right when theyre
re-booking a lot of their Covid cancellations from last year.
The tour features the trio of top
1990s country performers with indiviudal sets and three-up performances on a number of their hits. Tour
reviews show the audience especially
gets into the trios stories of their
days on top of the country charts
in the 1990s when music and the
music business was radically different before the Internet and digital
revolution.
Three additional opening acts for
Cornstock have yet to be announced.
Aaron Tippin has crusaded for the
working man and woman since he
ripped country music wide open with
his uncompromising
single Youve Got To
Stand For Something.
His voice continued
to ring loud and clear
with such hits as I
Wouldnt Have It Any
Other Way, There
Aint Nothin Wrong
With The Radio,
Thats As Close As Ill
Get To Loving You,
My Blue Angel and
Kiss This. Five of
his albums are certified Gold and a sixth
CD–Read
Between
The Lines–stands at
the Platinum level.
Tippins honest lyrics and direct, impassioned vocals have built a large and
devoted audience.
In the course of breaking into the
ranks of stardom in country music,
Sammy Kershaw has made contributions to more than just the charts.
His platinum albums were propelled
into the records books by hits such as
She Dont Know Shes Beautiful, I
Cant Reach Her Anymore, National
Working Womans Holiday, Love Of
My Life, Cadillac Style, Dont Go

passing of city commissioner
Cody Gettler, Garnett officials
now have to go about the selection of a replacement to fulfill

GOP legislators ditch Biden mandates
BY JIM MCCLEAN
KANSAS NEWS SERVICE
TOPEKA, Kansas Republicans
in the Kansas Legislature used a
one-day special session to pass legislation aimed at circumventing
Democratic President Joe Bidens
COVID-19 vaccine mandates.
The bill approved late Monday
is now headed to Democratic Gov.
Laura Kelly, who promised in a
one-sentence statement to sign it.
The bill makes it easier for
Kansans who object to getting the
vaccine to claim exemptions from
employers covered by the mandates
as well as those that implemented
their own requirements.
The measure also establishes a
process for imposing large fines
against Kansas employers who deny
exemptions. In addition, it makes
people who are fired or quit over
vaccine requirements eligible for
unemployment payments. That
drew an objection from a large busi-
ness advocacy group.
Republican leaders said they
demanded a special session because
they needed to protect Kansans
from mandates scheduled to take
effect before the start of their regular session in January.
Can you imagine the threat
of losing your job right before
Christmas? said Rep. Stephen
Owens, a Republican from Hesston.
Thats what many of our constituents are facing with this out-of-control federal government.
The bill requires employers to
grant no-questions-asked exemptions to workers who request them
based on sincerely held religious
beliefs.
Employees who are denied
exemptions can file grievances with
the Kansas Department of Labor.
The agency must investigate the
complaints and deliver findings to
Republican Attorney General Derek
Schmidt within 60 days. He would
then file a civil action in court.
The original bill passed by the
House gave the agency only 25
days to investigate complaints.
Expanding the time allotted for
investigations was a key to Kelly
promising to sign the bill.
Small businesses could be fined
up to $10,000 for each violation.
Larger employers those with
more than 100 workers could
be hit with fines up to $50,000.
Employers could avoid the fines by
reinstating the worker and paying
the lost wages
One of the concerns about the bill
was that allowing unemployment
payments would further strain the
states unemployment trust fund.
The bill would now send money collected from fines to the fund.
The legislation ultimately passed
77-34 in the House and 24-11 in the
Senate.
Rep. John Eplee, a Republican
physician from Atchison, initially
deadline for application then
scheduled interviews with the
candidates to make a selection.
In the last several appointments far more city residents
have sought appointments
to fill vacancies than usually
file for election to commission
seats when they come up for
election each year. Historically,
most city commission elections
against incumbents are uncontested.
The last vacancy filled was
that of former commissioner
Preston Peine in 2016. At that
time four applicants were interviewed by commissioners Greg
Gwin and former commissioner
Gordon Blackie, one of which
was Travis Wilson, who eventually became Garnett City

supported the House version but
ultimately opposed the bill. He criticized vaccine opponents for spreading misinformation regarding its
safety.
There is no doubt in my mind
as a practicing, living, breathing,
primary care physician that this
vaccine is incredibly safe, Eplee
said.
Eplee said all of the people
now hospitalized for COVID-19 in
Atchison are unvaccinated. He said
hes yet to see anyone who has been
vaccinated get very sick from a
breakthrough infection.
Kansas business leaders said the
bill put employers in the impossible position of choosing to violate
either federal or state laws.
We are not able to support any
mandate or penalties on businesses that impacts their abilities to
make informed decisions on how
WICHITA, Kansas It turns out a year of
shutdowns and quarantines generated lousy
test scores for schoolchildren across Kansas.
More than 30% of students fell behind
their grade level in math and language arts
in the 2020-21 school year.
That marked a sharp decline that lines up
with the COVID-19 shutdown of in-person
school in the spring of 2020 and launched the
following school year into an ad hoc combination of online teaching and stop-and-start
opening of school buildings.
Before the pandemic, 28% of students
were below grade level in math. After the
pandemic, that number shot to about 34%.
In language arts, the falling-behind number
went from 27% to just over 30%.
The picture for high-schoolers is more
grim: Forty-seven percent scored below
grade level in math, up from 41% two years

Colony Christian Church Thankful in all circumstances
Bruce Symes gave our
Communion Meditation. Psalm
100:4 tells us to "Enter his gates
with thanksgiving". We should
never enter God's presence
with pride, but thank him every
minute of every day of our lives
for his blessings. Our attitude
should one of thankfulness,
humility, and acceptance for
the gift of salvation. Thankful
for our existence, we owe all to
the one who gave us life, abilities, circumstances, people in
our life and good judgement in
our circumstances.
Pastor
Chase
Riebel
gave the sermon "Thankful
in all Circumstances". 1
Thessalonians 5:18 says, "Be
thankful in all circumstances,
for this is God's will for you who
belong to Christ Jesus." When
Jesus healed the 10 lepers, only
the Samaritan man came back
to thank Jesus and to praise
God for the healing. All of them
knew he could heal them, so
when he told them to go to the
Priest, they obeyed. When God
tells us to go, it's the best thing
for us to do, but we also need to
give thanks. And not just when
we are healed from whatever
ails us, but even when we're not
healed. In ALL circumstances. An example of that would
be the life of Paul. Even when
Paul was shipwrecked, in pris-
on, or was stoned, he praised
God. So whatever our "storm",
always reach for God, praise
him and give him thanks for all
his blessings… good and bad.
Yes, the good ones are easy, but
the bad circumstances could be
a time of learning and growing
in our faith, or maybe the faith
of someone watching how we
handle our situation. (Ref: 1
Thessalonians 5:1-8 & 18; Luke
17:11-18; 1 Chronicles 16:8-11;

2×2 Good
Shepherd
Is it time to seek Jesus
In Luke 19:10, having just
brought Zacchaeus, the tax collector to faith Jesus says. For
the Son of Man came to seek
and to save what was lost.
People seek all kinds of things.
In Luke 15:1-7, the shepherd
seeks one lost sheep, leaving
the other ninety-nine in open
country until he finds it. In
verses 8-10 the woman seeks
to find a lost coin, sweeping
the house till she finds it. In
verses 11-24 a father seeks a
lost son. The common thread
here is what was sought was
lost. Paul states plainly in 1st
Timothy 1:15-16, Christ Jesus
came into the world to save sinners. Sinners are just as lost
as the sheep, the coin or the
son were. As human beings we
are born with a sin nature, we
want nothing to do with Jesus.
Peter explains the sinners
relationship to Christ in 1 Peter
2:8 when he describes Jesus as,
A stone that causes men to
stumble and a rock that makes
them fall. Therefore man
prior to his conversion will not
seek God. He might dabble in
religion to ease his conscious
but will not commit to any
involvement with Jesus. He
sees this commitment to Christ
as a burden to the normal flow
of his worldly existence. This
perception is correct and can
only be changed by the power
of the Holy Spirit working in
the heart of the sinner. No
one in their human nature will
ever be willing to change their
ways because that is what their
heart desires.
WEEKLY DEVOTIONAL
BY DAVID BILDERBACK
The Psalmist in Psalm 119:10
says, I seek you with all my
heart; do not let me stray from
your commands. Why can the
Psalmist says this? Because his
heart has been made sensitive
to the things of God. In Isaiah
55:6 the prophet exhorts the
people. Seek the LORD while
he may be found; call on him
while he is near. This verse
implies we might not always be
able to find the LORD.
Everyone who reads this
article will have the same
chance to respond and to seek
the LORD. It will be one of the
opportunities you will have.
God speaking in Genesis 6:3
says, My Spirit will not contend with man forever for he
is mortal. We are dependent
on the Holy Spirit to change
our heart to bring us to seek
Jesus. When God removes his
Spirit we no longer will have
the ability to receive Jesus as
our Savior. That should scare
anyone who hasnt.
Ministry on the Holiness of God.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, November 30, 2021
OPINION
KASB: Bail out on NASB
The Kansas Association of School boards
must take a determined step to distance itself
from the concerning political leanings of the
National Association of School Boards by dropping its membership in the NASB, and send the
message to Kansas parents and taxpayers that
the NASBs anti-parent overtones are not in the
interests of educating Kansas school children.
Dropping its membership in NASB would go
far to increase the confidence of Kansas parents
in KASB in which most all of their local school
boards hold membership and convey that
Kansas educators dont view parents as adversaries at best and terrorists at worst.
That is in fact the unfortunate message sent
by the NASB in its Sept. 29 letter to the U.S.
Department of Justice. The letter was prompted
by parents in some local school districts across
the country vehemently and publicly protesting the institution of Critical Race Theory elements into local school curriculum. It requested
the full weight of federal law enforcement be
brought to bear against parents the NASB basically accused of conducting what they described
as campaigns of terrorism by speaking out
against local school board policies.
The National School Boards Association
(NSBA) respectfully asks for federal law enforcement and other assistance to deal with the
growing number of threats of violence and acts
of intimidation occurring across the nation, the
letter read in part before it was scrubbed days
later from the NASB website. It requested investigation of acts of malice, violence and threats
against public offcials, which could, the letter
said, be the equivalent to a form of domestic
terrorism and hate crimes.
No evidence of any threat of violence was
cited.
National backlash and the resignation of
several state school board associations New
Hampshire, Missouri, Louisiana, Ohio and
Pennsylvania among them brought an apology
weeks later from NASB. There was no justification for some of the language included in the
letter, the apology read. However, no firings
or resignations are known to have occurred at
NASB due to what are nothing short of allegations of terrorism against parents concerned
enough about their childrens welfare to speak
up publicly at public meetings to their local
school boards.
This is all a new awakening among parents who for decades have mostly stood back
and allowed school administrators to take
their marching orders in virtually all aspects
of school district management from their state

DANE HICKS, Publisher
school board organizations. Those state organizations in turn follow the encouragement of
the NASB and U.S. Department of Education.
The top-down conduit of policy, procedure, and
indeed politics has traditionally been a one-way
street. In the same vein, school board members
who agreed in good faith to serve in an increasingly bureaucratic and complicated educational
arena rely almost wholly on administrators for
data, interpretation and counsel for their decisions. Theyve become to a great degree disconnected from the body of parents who until now
have been mostly silent.
But the Covid pandemic that sent school kids
home and allowed parents to view much of their
classroom instruction on screen along with
them was, for many, an ice bucket challenge
particularly in regard to the defined and pointed
infusion of liberal politics and socialist mantras
into those young minds. While school officials
across the country swear up and down Critical
Race Theory isnt taught in their schools, video
after video continues to go viral depicting the
way elements of that race-baiting theme are
being used in classrooms by teachers who are
themselves repositories of various radical disciplines. The experience has become fodder for the
placement of cameras in classrooms allowing
parents to get a first-hand view.
Its all led to a trickling national crisis of confidence by parents in the public school system
with regard to whats being taught and how that
teaching is affected, and how parents are viewed
by school officials. By resigning from the NASB,
Kansas association officials would draw a line in
the sand to show whos side theyre on. Failure
to draw that line risks turning that trickle into a
Kansas torrent. ###

While you and I spent our Thanksgiving weekend celebrating with family and maybe going
to the Garnett Christmas parade or maybe
doing a little shopping, the members of the
various communities of Los Angeles, Chicago,
Minneapolis and other urban hell holes got
their exercise with smash and grab looting
of various retailers. Nice job, you Democrat
mayors. Keep it up until you have no retailers
left to rob.
Just a big thank you to all those involved in putting on the Christmas parade and the firemens
feed. You people do a lot of good work and it
does not go unnoticed or unappreciated. Thank
you all very much for a good job.
#TeamJesus is way more powerful than
#TeamSatan. We have the Holy Spirit. We
know we win in the end and we report to the
Father on the throne not some loser who hates
everyone and wants them to perish.
Ive been trying to pay attention so forgive me if
Ive missed this, but the man who ran the people
down and killed five of them and hurt 40-odd
more was black, right? What race was the victims who he killed? Did I miss that? Were they
all White people? If it was a White man running
down a bunch of people at a parade, dont you
think the race of them that got ran over would
be the very first thing the media told us? I think
so. Funny how it dont work that way on the flip
side. Thank you.
Why didnt Joe Biden have to take a cognitive
test? Might have give a lot of answers.
Sure do like the lights all over Garnett. I forget just how pretty they are when its not
Christmas, but when Christmas comes back
around boy I sure like them. Great idea, whoever that was. Thank you.

Parents making a difference to win back schools
A growing number of parents are pushing
back on public school teachings they consider
harmful to their children. Theyve raised a
collective voice against divisive approaches
like Critical Race Theory, radical gender policies, and the injection of woke ideology into
almost every school subject. And theyre making a difference.
After winning Virginias gubernatorial race
earlier this month largely on an education
platform, Glenn Youngkin assured Virginian
parents hes in their corner: Were going
to restore excellence in our schoolsWere
going to embrace our parents, not ignore
them.
But many public education proponents arent so welcoming toward parents.
Youngkins opponent, Terry McAuliffe, ran
on the premise that parents shouldnt be telling schools what to teach. Former president
Barack Obama echoed his sentiments, referring to parental concerns as phony, trumpedup culture wars. A recent opinion piece in
The Washington Post by education professor
Jack Schneider calls parents efforts conspiratorial fantasies, comments that earned
kudos on Twitter from Randi Weingarten,
head of one of the nations largest teachers unions. Another education professor,
Christina Wyman, put it even more bluntly
in an NBC News opinion piece: Parents, com-

munity members, and politicians who arent
qualified to teach should keep their noses
out of school curricula. And in a calculated
attempt to scare parents and silence their dissent, liberal advocacy group National School
Boards Association asked President Biden to
intervene, calling angry parents a form of
domestic terrorism. Less than a week later,
Attorney General Merrick Garland issued
a memo activating the FBI to probe local
threats of violence to school boards.
Those looking to quell the pesky parental
rebellion in Americas public schools need to
face up to this simple, incontrovertible fact:
parents are the primary educators of their
children. From before theyre even born, par-
ents teach their children by their words and
deeds. As kids grow, parents often choose to
partner with other parents, community leaders and teachers to amplify their childrens
learning. But ultimate responsibility for the
quality of a childs education physical, mental and spiritual lies solely with parents.
Teachers union head Randi Weingarten,
Attorney General Merrick Garland, and former President Barack Obama have dismissed
American parents concerns over education.
Up until the early 1800s, many parents
embraced the spiritual duty set out in the
book of Proverbs to train up a child in the
way he should go, with church-established
schoolhouses striving to support them. But
with increased immigration and urban development came the call to offer free government-subsidized schooling for all. What began
as a lofty endeavor complete with non-denominational moral instruction has, in the modern
era, descended into an environment openly hostile to the Judeo-Christian ideas that
fueled Western civilization and our unique
American experiment. As sociologist Susan
Rose put it, the public school became the
substitute for the American national church.
As publicly funded experts took over the
role of educating American children, the role
of parents was largely marginalized. Today,

Harris, Buttigieg primary a dream for GOP
The GOP has had plenty of reason for good
cheer in recent months.
Nothing can compare, though, with the glad
tidings of a potential showdown between Vice
President Kamala Harris and Transportation
Secretary Pete Buttigieg to be Bidens successor in 2024 should he decide not to run for
reelection.
Surely, there would be other serious candidates in that circumstance, but there is no
doubt that Harris and Buttigieg would be high
on the list of potential contenders, as various
journalistic outfits have noted over the past
week.
As it happens, they exemplify the contemporary Democratic Partys electoral deficiencies, while bringing their own flagrant personal political weaknesses to the equation.
If this is really the choice Democrats would
face should Biden decline to run, they better
hope he defies age, bounces back to robust
political health, and is prepared to serve again
well into his 80s.
Harris flamed out in the 2020 Democratic
nomination well before the Iowa caucuses,
unable to settle on a message or political identity. Her staff was obsessed with the progressive hothouse of Twitter, which is a powerful
device for creating a false sense of what real
voters, even Democratic primary voters, care
about.
As vice president, shes basically picked
up where her desultory campaign left off. In
the latest USA Today/Suffolk University poll,
Harris had a dismal 28% approval rating.
Its difficult to rate that low without getting

indicted or suffering some other embarrassing
scandal.
Her allies, of course, complain that shes
being treated unfairly because shes a woman
of color. This fixation on race and gender plays
much better with the left-wing activist class
than with the public. The simpler explanation
for Harris woes is that shes a below-average
politician serving under an unpopular president.
Pete Buttigieg has had a happier tenure. With his surprising success in the 2020
Democratic primary, he bootstrapped himself
into a Cabinet position and is now enjoying a
windfall of resources thanks to the infrastructure bill.
He embodies, to a fault, the partys growing
strength among college-educated whites. Hes
smooth, credentialed, hyper-articulate and a
quick study who knows enough — sometimes
just enough — to charm and impress journalists and other white-collar creative types.
If a management consultant were to design
a progressive white Democrat in a bottle, the
result would look a lot like Buttigieg, himself
a former management consultant.
Its become increasingly clear, though, that
the Democratic Partys new base among college-educated voters is a trap if it is pursued
to the exclusion of an appeal to working-class
voters. The partys poor standing with non-college-educated voters has begun to show up in
eroding support among Latinos, a constituency that was presumed to be a key pillar of the
Obama-crafted coalition of the ascendant.
A successful post-Biden Democratic future
is more likely to be found in the likes of New
York Mayor-elect Eric Adams than Harris or
Buttigieg.
He is an African American former cop
with a hard-knocks upbringing that gives him
working-class street cred. He knows that woke
bromides arent the way to appeal to African
American voters, who put him over the top in
the Democratic primary. Hes a standard progressive in many respects, but he has proven
immune to fashionable left-wing causes. He
not only defused a hot-button cultural issue
— namely, crime — he campaigned on it and
made it a strength, an ability that most national Democrats have lost as the party has moved
left since 2016.
Its far too early to know how his City Hall
tenure will actually turn out, but Adams has

Beginnings of a new excavation site 40 years ago…tractors stolen, damage done
DIGGING UP THE PAST
Henry Roeckers
Call (785) 504-4722 for
local archeology information.
As most of you already know I
love to find buttons and marbles
at my dig sites. Do I like to find
old coins? You bet I do. However,
let me tell you the truth. Most
old home sites dont have very
many lost coins to find. If most
kids were like myself 80 years
ago, we were as poor as church
mice and if we ever had a penny
or a nickel we hung on to it. We
surely never lost it.
As for the button shown here,
it was one of 7 Ive found at my
new site. This one just happens
to be an antique and is collectible. This button is known as an
Antique Flower & Vine Picture
Button. It is made of brass and
still has the soldered wire loop
on the back. These buttons date
from the latter 1800s to the early
1900s.
I guess I need to get to digging
and find a few more buttons!

were reaping the consequences of that shift in responsibility.
Meanwhile, more parents
are choosing to take on the
role of primary educator to
their kids. By the start of the
2020-21 school year, the number of school-age children getting taught at home in the US
more than doubled from the
year before to 11.1 percent, and
a new study suggests homeschooled kids are healthier,
happier and more likely to
attend religious services than
many public-school graduates.
What really qualifies one
to teach? While learning the
science of teaching can be
useful, especially for classroom
instruction of multiple students, its the basics that clinch
it: a willingness to invest your
time, the wisdom to address
the physical and spiritual as
well as mental needs of the student, and the restraint to teach
how to think rather than what
to think.
Teaching kids how to think
requires a partnership between
parents and the educational
community. Without parents
producing the children that
populate public schools, there
would be no public schools
and no school boards to govern them. Public schools would
do well to remember that fact,
and start showing parents the
respect they deserve.

A tractor and buggy were
stolen or borrowed recently, some damage was done to
telephone lines, and the vehicles were then abandoned.
According to Sheriff Don
Hermreck, Bob Boots saw a
tractor and buggy parked
south of the Bob Culver home
west of Garnett. He notified
authorities and a little later
Virgil Katzer was driving
home, saw the tractor, and
recognized that it belonged to
him. It is believed that the tractor was driven by an unknown
person from the Katzer farm
over to Highway 31 where
a public telephone and telephone lines were damaged.
Then a buggy was stolen from
the Alvin Beachy home near
there and attached to the back
of the tractor and both were
taken to where the tractor was
finally found.

the past season, it was necessary to buy some ice at other

ice shipped here did not give
satisfaction as to quality, and
it is thought better to make and
store a large quantity during
the coming winter so that it
will not be necessary to buy
elsewhere. The plan is a good
one. Had there been a storage
plant here years ago, it would
have saved a lot of trouble,
hard work, and expense, and
the people would have been better satisfied with the quality of

grade level in English language
arts.
The scores offer one metric
in understanding the potential
learning loss caused by the pandemic.
Gov. Laura Kelly ordered
schools closed in March 2020,
and schools have since been disrupted by switches to remote or
hybrid learning plans, COVID
outbreaks, quarantines and
staff shortages.
Kansas
Education
Commissioner Randy Watson
said comparisons with previous years are complicated.
Tests werent administered in
2020 because of school closures,
and not all students took them
this past spring.
But he said Kansas isnt
alone.
Every data point we have is
down, Watson said, and so is
everyone elses across the country.
Results from the state
tests are searchable by district and individual schools
on the Kansas Department of
Education website, at http://
ksreportcard.ksde.org/.
Statewide, results from the
2021 test scores showed declines
in most areas. Only 28% of
Kansas students were considered on track for college or
career in math, and about 35%
in language arts a drop of
four percentage points in math
and one point in English since
2019.
Wichita, that states largest
school district, showed dramatic declines, with 58% of
students scoring at the lowest
level in math up from 46% in
2019. About 48% of Wichita students scored below grade level
in English language arts up
from 44% in 2019.
Among Wichita high school
students, more than 68% scored
below grade level in math, up
from about 60% in 2019.
Other key findings from the
2021 state test results:

The rate of chronic absenteeism students who miss
more than 15 days of school a
year rose from 14% to 17.5%
statewide since 2019. Truancy
cases climbed from 767 to more

The last 18 months have
been the hardest on our state
and schools are a microcosm
of that in the history of our
public and private schools,
Watson said.
Dave Trabert, chief executive officer of the Kansas Policy
Institute, a conservative think
tank, said declines raise questions about the value of a high
school diploma.
We know that a lot of kids

behind their respective grade
levels the older they get. About
77% of third-graders met or
exceeded grade-level expectations in math. By eighth
grade, that number is only 65%.
Among high-schoolers, only
53% met grade-level standards.
A cross grade levels, there
remains a significant achievement gap between white students and students of color.
Nearly 61% of Black students
and 50% of Hispanic students
scored below grade level in
math, compared with 27% of
white students and 20% of
Asian students.
L ow-income students continue to score lower in all areas
than their higher-income peers.
Consequently, districts with
high numbers of students living

as higher-income suburban districts.

more value to your home.
Vendors and food vendors will

Faith & Blue is an event
that has taken place in other
communities throughout the
United States. Hope Anthem
Garnett seeks to partner with
the churches and faith-based
organizations in Anderson
There is an education element,
ag heritage and history element, and it is intriguing for
people to watch the engines at
work. Vendors have already
expressed interest in participating.
The Anderson County
Flywheelers are relatively a
new organization and are asking Garnett Tourism for guidance on marketing and advertising to draw people from
throughout the region.
The contest winners will
now secure their dates and permissions for locations to host
their events and submit their
Transient Guest Tax funding
proposals for approval by the
City Commission before the
end of this year.

The City of Garnett has grant
5×7 And. Co. Hosp
County to host the Faith &
Blue event on October 2, 2022,
beginning at 4 p.m. on the town
square and Anderson County
Courthouse lawn. There will be
free food, fun activities, patrol
cars, fire, and EMS vehicles
on display. There will also
be some nice giveaways for
those attending to win. This
will be an enthusiastic atmosphere that brings local law
enforcement and the community together to build stronger
relationships. There will be
opportunity for a law enforcement panel to answer pre-determined questions relevant to
the community. Donations will
be accepted prior to the event
for expenses of this event but
should there be extra money
left over it will be donated to
local law enforcement. Faith
& Blue utilizes the support of
churches and faith-based organizations to bring the community together on common
ground with law enforcement
to build relationships. But also
importantly, this event is to
honor all law enforcement and
let them know how much they
are appreciated. This event is
to help make our community
safer and build good relations.
Marketing of the event is mainly through social media, flyers
distributed to go home with
students and displayed in businesses throughout the county.

programs to encourage the
use of TGT funds to promote
tourism and bring visitors to
Garnett and Anderson County.
As a part of the Garnett
Tourism Strategic Plans fiveyear goal is to increase the
number of special events by
one additional event annually.
By the Commissions approval
of the launch of five uniquely
new events in 2022, we have
amazing opportunities on the
horizon to help bolster
the local economy, mentorship, and provide more activities for our citizens to enjoy
right here in Garnett, said
Susan Wettstein, Director of
Community Development and
Tourism. All organizations
entering expressed their desire
to grow their ideas and make
these events reoccur on an
annual basis.

CITY COMMISSIONER
MANDATES…
FROM PAGE 1
best maintain their operations
and that could lead to unintended consequences, Kansas
Chamber President and CEO
Alan Cobb said in a statement.
Democrats amplified the
complaints of business leaders
arguing against the bill.
If this is not a mandate,
what is it? said Rep. Rui Xu,
a Democrat from Westwood.
And if this is not an expansion of government, what is
it?
Some Republicans also
expressed concerns. Sen. Jeff
Longbine, the owner of an
Emporia car dealership, said
while hes opposed to the feder-
al mandates, the most effective
way to fight them is to back
Schmidt and other state attorney generals challenging them
in court.
That (the courts) is where
this needs to be settled, he
said.
Sen. Renee Erickson, a
Wichita Republican, said
Kansas lawmakers had to
intervene to stop some businesses and state universities
from subjecting employees
seeking religious exemptions
to intrusive questioning.
We need to respect those
rights, not spend a second
questioning their sincerity,
Erickson said.
The Kansas bills borrow language from measures passed
by the Florida Legislature
during a special session earlier
this month.
Schmidt, Kellys likely
opponent, has been aggressive
in challenging the mandates,
signing on to three multi-state
lawsuits aimed at overturning
them.
The Legislatures actions
today are a welcome com-

panion to our ongoing legal
efforts, Schmidt said in a
statement. This new legislation strengthens protections
for religious liberty and guards
Kansans jobs.
