THE VOTE IS IN
(but not all counted)
Garnett sales tax,
Central Heights bond
issues approved
BY DANE HICKS THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT Voters in
Garnett
resoundingly
approved a new one cent
sales tax on Tuesday night
aimed at building a new
swimming pool and loosely
targeted at a laundry list of
other city expenses, while
voters in Central Heights
USD 288 passed a school
construction bond for $15.35
million for new Vo Ag, childhood development and gym
space.
The Garnett sales tax was
roundly criticized due to the
extensive list of targets city
leaders said they planned
to approach with the funds
a list whose costs former
mayor Jason Sheahan said
could not be paid for with the
estimated proceeds from the
new tax. Regardless, 337 city
voters some 65 percent of
the 517 who cast votes on the
question ruled resolutely in
favor on the question which
will add 1% to the tab for all
retail purchases made within
the city of Garnett.
The new tax can take effect
April 1, the next calendar
quarter that meets the 90-day
notification requirement
from the city to the Kansas
Department of Revenue, if
commissioners
formally
adopt it quickly.
It was a more narrow
win but a win nonetheless
for supporters of the Central
Heights construction bond
issue. Voters gave that issue
a thumbs up by a margin of
53 percent, 334-288.

Hinrichs told the Review

Princeton man dies in Greeley mishap
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GREELEY A Princeton
man was tragically killed
last week at
Greeley when
the
trash
truck he had
been driving
apparently
rolled over
him.
A report
Teter
from
the
Anderson
County Sheriffs Department
said Kenneth Teter, 64 of
Princeton, apparently got out
of his commercial trash hauler in the 300 block of South
Prairie Street in Greeley
to retrieve some trash, but
failed to put the vehicle in
park before he exited it. In
his effort to get back into the
vehicle to stop it from rolling,
McLain said he apparently
slipped and became trapped
under the vehicle.
Teter worked for Town
& Country Disposal Service
from Paola. The vehicle was
an F550 truck outfitted with a
garbage compactor. McClain
said dispatch received the call
at 5:56 a.m. from a neighbor.

County Clerk Julie Wettstein
said it will likely be the end
of this week before write-in
votes can be counted and confirmed to ascertain the winners of two USD 365 school
board races, with incumbent
Gina Witherspoon cruising
to an easy victory with 75 percent of the vote over declared
write-in Chris Brady.
A quicker tally of declared
candidates showed Susan

Lack of interest in three

Marines celebrate Corps 250th
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
WASHINGTON, D.C. Most
Marines celebrating the branchs
upcoming 250th birthday arent
surprised their corps was born in
a tavern.
Its been a long road from
those humble beginnings in
Philadelphia to the celebrations that will accent the
United States Marine Corps
250th anniversary on Monday.
The Corps commemorates two
and a half centuries of valor, sacrifice, and service since its founding
on November 10, 1775. From the
taverns of colonial Philadelphia
to modern battlefields around
the world, Marines have
earned their place as one of
Americas most storied
fighting forces always
faithful, always ready.
The handful of local
Marines say every
Marine Corps birthday
is special, but this celebration tied so directly to
the founding of the nation
takes the anniversary to a
different level.The history
and the legacy of Marines
the common thread stretching from then to now is even
more top of mind.
I think for me the quote I think
of most is the one from Chester
Nimitz, said Eric Mills, who
manages the Anderson County
Attorneys office. Among the
men who fought on Iwo Jima,
uncommon valor was a common
virtue. Thats always just kind
of stuck with me I guess.
The Marine Corps was born
before the nation itself. On
November 10, 1775, the Continental
Congress authorized the formation of two battalions of Marines
at Tun Tavern in Philadelphia.
There, Captain Samuel Nicholas
the first commissioned officer and
de facto first Commandant began
recruiting men to serve
aboard ships of the
Continental
Navy.
World War I, where they earned
the nickname Devil Dogs from
the Germans, to Iwo Jima in
World War II, where the iconic
flag-raising photo became
a symbol of American
determination.
The
Marines
job
then was much as it is now
to be a ship-borne landing and
combat force. Their first battle
came just months later when
Marines stormed the beaches of
New Providence in the Bahamas,
seizing British gunpowder stores
in a daring amphibious raid that
foreshadowed centuries of Marine
operations to come.
Since those early days, Marines
have fought on nearly every continent and in every major American
conflict, from Belleau Wood in
Every generation of Marines
carries the legacy of the last,
said Marine Corps
Commandant Gen. Eric
M. Smith in a recent statement marking the anniversary.
Our ethos of honor, courage, and
commitment binds us together
past, present, and future.
Koreas frozen Chosin Reservoir,
the jungles of Vietnam, the deserts of Iraq, and the mountains
of Afghanistan each added new
chapters to a history of grit and
brotherhood.
The Corps culture is as distinctive as its dress blues. From
the first haircut at boot camp to
the sound of the Drill Instructors
bark, the Marine experience
transforms civilians into members of an unbreakable family.

take communion.
Pastor Chase Riebel
spoke from James 2:1426. His sermon was
titled "Faith to Live By."
Salvation is by faith but
faith is dead unless it produces good deeds. Faith
is defined by how we live
our lives. The parable of
the good Samaritan in Luke
10:30 explains how faith is
action characterized by
mercy.
Brinley McGhee led worship singing "Hosanna,"
"Ever Be," "One Thing
Remains" and "More Like
Jesus."
Brant McGhee talked about change for the
Communion Meditation.
One of the interesting peculiarities of human nature is
that often we hate the way
things are but at the same
time we hate change. Jesus
brought a lot of change with
His teaching and healing.

Ryan Most told board members the current bus barn
design and facilities wasnt
conducive to being the primary meeting and training
space for bus drivers and
transportation employees which can number as
many as 30 people.
Additionally,
the
restrooms are not serviceable for these groups.
Arguably the restrooms do
not serve the full time day
staff providing dispatch
and vehicle services,
Most said. Most said those
deficiencies necessitated
the evaluation of a remodel that would make the
restrooms accessible to all
employees plus add meeting room space. The process could also be utilized
to add ADA accessibility
and pave the north side
parking area as well, he
said.
A proposal attached
to the agenda noted an
estimate of $150,000 for
restroom remodel, space
expansion of the metal
building to add meeting
space for another $150,000,
interior office and kitchenette estimated at $75,000,
new paved areas $65,000,
and architectural and
other service fees of some
$35,000.
Most said the estimates
were intended to be on the
high end, and that actual
expenses could be at that
limit or lower.
The board meets at 7 p.m.
Luke details much of
Jesus travels and how
Jesus went through the
towns and villages, teaching as he made his way to
Jerusalem. Someone asked
him, Lord are only a few
going to be saved? (Luke
13:22-23) In order to be saved
we must receive Gods forgiveness. The Bible teaches that God completely
forgives sin. The initiative
for this comes from John
3:16. For God so loved the
world that he gave his one
and only Son that whoever
believes in him shall not
perish but have everlasting
life.
In order for God to forgive sin, two conditions
are necessary. A life must
be taken as a substitute
for that of the sinner and
the sinner must come to
Gods sacrifice in a spirit
of repentance and faith. In
Luke 13:24 Jesus answers
the question posed to him
when he says. Make every
effort to enter through
the narrow door, because
many, I tell you will try to
enter and will not be able
to. That door is the door
to eternity. If we repent of
our sin that door will be
open unto us because God
forgives sin. On the other
hand if we practice sin
Jesus says in Luke 13:25 to
the man who made no effort
WEEKLY DEVOTIONAL
BY DAVID BILDERBACK
in his life to enter through
the narrow door. I dont
know you or where you
come from. The practicing
of sin leads to destruction.
God cannot and will not forgive the hard hearted person who places themselves
above Jesus. That is a violation against Gods holy
character
Forgiveness is an essential part of the gospel message. The life, death, burial,
resurrection and accession
of Jesus to the right hand of
God is an undeniable fact
that must be recognized by
each of us. The way we deal
with it will determine if the
door will be opened for us.
If you choose to go your
own way that is exactly
what you will get. Instead
of the door opening you will
hear. I never knew you.

Holiness of God.

OPINION
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Thursday, November 6, 2025
Can Mamdanishock stop JOCO blue plague?
There should be nothing quite like
watching the countrys municipal crown
jewel fall to the communists to put
Republicans back on the straight and narrow, but lets see if thats a wakeup call
for the Johnson County Republican Party
to take itself to the woodshed and stop
JOCOs blue plague.
For decades, Johnson County stood
as the heart of Kansas conservatism
prosperous, suburban, civic-minded, and
proudly red. Yet today, the Kansas 3rd
Congressional District tells a very different story. Four consecutive defeats to
Democrat Sharice Davids make it painfully
clear that the Johnson County Republican
Party once a powerhouse of organization and influence has become largely
irrelevant in shaping political outcomes,
not only in its own backyard but across the
entire state.
The GOP in Johnson County used to
win on the strength of disciplined organization, effective fundraising, and deep
bench strength in local offices. That foundation has eroded. Party infighting, personality politics, and an obsession with
national culture-war talking points have
replaced neighborhood-level voter outreach and issue-based persuasion. While
the countys population has boomed, its
Republican leadership structure has withered increasingly driven by ideological
purism rather than coalition-building.
The result? A fractured conservative
base that cant even come close to reclaiming the district from one of the most vulnerable Democratic incumbents in the
Midwest. Davids hasnt won because of
a sweeping progressive wave; shes won
because the Republican opposition has
become unserious, disorganized, and out
of touch with suburban voters who still
lean fiscally conservative but recoil from
stridency and division.
Johnson Countys decline as a conservative anchor weakens the entire state GOP.
Its immense population and wealth once
supplied both the votes and the dollars that
carried conservative candidates statewide.
When Johnson County falters, the burden
shifts to smaller, rural counties counties
that simply dont have the numbers or
the financial clout to offset losses in the
Kansas City metro. That imbalance threatens to turn what has long been a reliably
red state into a patchwork of blue enclaves
and demoralized Republican strongholds.
The partys problem isnt ideology
alone; its leadership. The local GOP has
failed to present credible, forward-looking
candidates who reflect the countys demographic and economic evolution. Instead of
cultivating pragmatic conservatives who
can talk about property taxes, schools, and
infrastructure issues that still matter
deeply to suburban families it has alienated moderates and independents through
purity tests and internal feuds.
Until new leadership emerges that values effectiveness, the Johnson County
Republican Party will remain a cautionary
tale. Its irrelevance today is not just a local
embarrassment; its a strategic disaster for
the conservative movement in Kansas.
If conservatives hope to preserve their
influence in Topeka and Washington alike,
they must first reclaim credibility where
its been squandered in the very county
that once defined Kansas Republicanism.
That begins with humility, discipline, and
a return to the basics of persuasion and
service. Without it, the red heart of Kansas
will continue to fade to purple and eventually, blue. ###

Without question, the greatest enemy to
freedom, liberty, and the rule of law in
this country today is the Democrat party.
Trumps mantra about making America
great again is playing out as a return to
the Great Depression.
Id just like to comment on the person
who sounds like Trumps taking food
out of peoples mouths by building this
ballroom. If hed just done his homework
and looked at the news and other places,
Mass migration brought New York The Big C
New York City elected a communist to
be its next mayor on Tuesday. Ugandaborn Zohran Mamdani is projected to
win more than 50 percent of the Big
Apple. Over the next few days, professional Republicans will shake their heads
and lament the outcome of the race. But
few, if any, will acknowledge the truth:
Mamdanis victory is the direct result of
mass immigration.
New York City wasnt lost to a communist because the radical left out-organized
the Democrat establishment. New York
City was lost to a communist because we
lost control of our borders not just our
southern border, but every single border
separating the United States from the
rest of the world. Mass migration, whether legal or illegal, is national suicide.
And New York City is the proof.
A survey released in October from
Patriot Polling found Mamdani had 62
percent support from foreign-born New
Yorkers, and just 31 percent amongst
American-born. Former Gov. Andrew
Cuomo and Republican Mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa had 40 percent and
25 percent support, respectively, among
native-born Americans.
Even Mamdani a dual citizen
seems aware that his base was foreign
and decisive.
In a video posted to X this weekend,
Mamdani spoke with a voter who said, I
just got my citizenship. And Im voting
for you.
Mamdami himself celebrated the
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
BRIANNA LYMAN THE FEDERALIST
transformation of the electorate in his
victory speech:
We will fight for you, because we
are you. Or, as we say on Steinway,
ana minkum wa alaikum. Thank you to
those so often forgotten by the politics of
our city, who made this movement their
own. I speak of Yemeni bodega owners
and Mexican abuelas. Senegalese taxi
drivers and Uzbek nurses. Trinidadian
line cooks and Ethiopian aunties,
Mamdani said. New York will remain a
city of immigrants: a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants and, as of
tonight, led by an immigrant.
Putting aside Mamdanis foreign support, he himself is proof of the problem.
We didnt just import new voters, we
imported a new ruling class. Mamdani
is from Uganda, a nation that has never
truly sustained a functioning republic
or culture of ordered liberty. His politics were clearly not founded on basic
American habits or institutions of
self-governance. His victory is what happens when a republic opens its doors to
people who do not know how to maintain
one.
When you replace the people who made
a civilization with people from nations
that have made clear they are incapable
of self-governance and republicanism,
you eventually set your own country up
for the same failure that plagues many of
these third-world nations. Whats more,
Mamdani, and anyone who voted for him
including immigrants have already
proved they are uninterested in self-governance and incapable of assimilation to
basic American values. Why? Because
socialism is diametrically opposed to the
principles on which our Constitutional
republic was founded.
Every city and state that imports
enough of the worlds population eventually imports its corresponding worldviews, too.
In fact, Alexander Hamilton cautioned
in 1802 that foreigners will entertain
opinions on government congenial with
those under which they have lived. Even
if they should be led hither from a preference to ours, how extremely unlikely
is it that they will bring with them that
temperate love of liberty, so essential to
real republicanism? he warned.
And yet it would be surprising if, over
the next few days, Republicans acknowledge that you cannot preserve the repubSEE LYMAN ON PAGE 11
9/11 was day terror, but Mamdanis aunt got dirty looks
Zohran Mamdani has a hard time
keeping it together when he thinks about
Sept. 11 and its aftermath.
Not — judging by his performance the
other day — when he contemplates the
impact of two screaming jetliners on the
Twin Towers; nor when he remembers
the sacrifice of hundreds of courageous
firefighters that day; nor when he thinks
about the toxic, smoldering ruins where
there had once been a thriving commercial center.
No, the front-running candidate for
New York City mayor loses it when he
recalls how someone may have looked
askance at his hijab-wearing aunt.
Or so he would have us believe. In
giving remarks about supposedly rampant Islamophobia in the closing days
of the race, Mamdani paused — seemingly overcome with emotion — when he
recalled that his aunt gave up riding the
train after Sept. 11 for fear of her safety.
Mamdani has clarified that the woman
was really his dads cousin, not his aunt,
but the narrative is more important than
the facts.
The candidate is attempting to end his
campaign as a victim, both as a shield
against charges that hes an antisemite
and as a way to discredit his opponents
and press his case that America is a racist society.
Its extraordinary that more than
20 years later, New York City is about
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
RICH LOWRY, King Features Syndicate
to go from a mayor, in Rudy Giuliani,
who warned of the dire threat of Islamic
terrorism, to a mayor, in Zohran
Mamdani, who warns of the dire threat
of Islamophobia. The city is about to go
from a mayor who understood the stakes
of a civilizational battle to a mayor
who thinks the civilizational battle is
all about addressing our own perfidy
and hatred. One mayor saw his career
revived by a crisis, while the other will
— if he delivers on his agenda — create a
crisis.
There was, of course, ignorance and
malice directed at Muslims after Sept.
11, but FBI statistics showed that in the
decade after the attacks, Muslims suffered hate crimes at a lower rate than
black people, gays or Jews.
The idea that, as Mamdani said in
that is all being donated by big companies
like Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, a big old list
of them. So there is no tax dollars being
used to build this ballroom. The sad thing is
when people put this out like this theres a
lot of people who arent going to check it out
and theyre going to believe it. Sounds like
Chuck Schumer to me. Thank you.
his remarks, Muslims have to live in
the shadows in New York City, or that
Islamophobia is just part of the background noise of our political life, or that
he himself has been abashed about his
status as a Muslim man is absurd.
You have to look pretty hard to find
any residual effects of Islamophobia on
the son of a Columbia University professor and Oscar-nominated filmmaker, who graduated from the prestigious
Bronx High School of Science and the
elite Bowdoin College, before becoming
a state assemblyman at age 29 and the
Democratic nominee for New York City
mayor at age 33.
If this is what Islamophobia looks like,
everyone should welcome having some
sectarian hatred directed their way.
Mamdani complains of the harsh
attacks by his opponents. What else,
though, should be expected at the end of
a high-stakes campaign? The rhetorical
sallies against Mamdani are fundamentally driven by his extremist statements
and radical associations, rather than his
faith.
Does Mamdani really believe that a
Christian candidate who didnt accept
the existence of Israel as a Jewish state,
who smeared Israels conduct of the Gaza
war and who refused to condemn the
phrase globalize the intifada would

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Thursday, November 6, 2025

Make a plan for the season of eating, says K-State nutritionist
MANHATTAN The season of eating has begun.
It seems like starting
with Halloween candy,
many of us can over-indulge on what we eat all the
way through New Years
day, said Sara Sawer, a
nutrition, health and wellness agent with K-State
Research and Extensions
office in Sedgwick County.
Similar to athletes entering a sports season, Sawer
encourages Americans to
prepare themselves for the
holiday eating season.
Really, the holidays we
celebrate are just 3, 4 or 5
days, right? she said. And
so, what we need to focus on
is not over-indulging every
single day.
It really is easy to
over-indulge throughout
this period of time and
think that you will worry
about it after the new year.
But it is important that we
are being aware of what and
how much were eating. If
we feel like weve over-indulged, thats fine, but then
its important to get back
to your traditional habits
the next day. Its going to
be better for your heart and
energy levels overall; youll
just feel better.
When it comes to
Thanksgiving or other holiday meals, Sawer said one
healthy strategy is to think
about which recipes are
important to you and your
family.
And then let the rest of
the foods go and provide
some fruits and vegetables
and an opportunity for a
walk after the meal — not
only for you, but for your
entire family, she said.
More suggestions from
Sawer include:
Add fruits and vegetables to your plate. Nutrientrich foods help your body
stay fueled with the vitamins and minerals it needs,
which can reduce the temptation to overeat.
Make time for physical
activity most days of the
week to help relieve holiday stress, improve sleep,
and for overall health.
When its time to make
dinner, one temptation,
Sawer said, is to think we
have to make all the holiday foods that we grew
up with as a child, but she
quips: Im giving you permission; You dont have to
do that.
Additional tips for
healthy recipes:

maybe every six months, can we actually get a piece of

Trump is a greedy son of a gun.
Kudos Mr. Hicks on your editorial about the communists
paying for the No Kings rallies and the history of atrocities when communists have gained power. We see this
now with the murder of Charlie Kirk and them trying
to kill Trump, the burning and violence by Black Lives
Matter and the violence against ICE trying to enforce
federal law. So many of these young people and Democrats
arent educated and now theyve elected a communist as
Mayor of New York. I guess theyre going to have to see
these atrocities play out in our own country before they
learn the lessons of history. Thank you.

Yutzy
Use low-salt versions
of ingredients. For example, a popular comfort
food during colder months
is chili. Sawer suggests
choosing low-salt beans
and tomatoes, and creating a homemade seasoning
versus a packet purchased
at the store. Use herbs and
spices to reduce salt content in such foods as meatloaf and casseroles.
Use foods that are
in-season. For example,
if making chicken noodle
soup, substitute spaghetti
squash for the noodles
which increases fiber and
reduces carbohydrates.
After Thanksgiving, substitute turkey for chicken.
Consider ingredient
substitutions, such as apple
sauce for butter, shortening or oil. Or use a lesser
amount of butter, shortening, oil or sugar, if possible.
For recipes that require
eggs, Sawer said you can
substitute two egg whites
for each egg in the recipe.
A listing of common ingredient substitutions is available in an online publication from K-State Research
and Extension.
Eat regular meals before
the party. The temptation is

Certainly,
Marjorie Taylor Greene
comes in for heavy criticism for her anti-Israel
views, and no one can
claim that its anti-Muslim sentiment at work.
At the end of the day,
one of the most glaring
problems with Zohran
Mamdani is that, ideology aside, he is light
as a feather. His callow
and self-dramatizing
Islamophobia speech,
full of faux eloquence
and stirring resolve
over nothing, is a case
in point.
Ed Koch, a different
kind of mayor in a different time, said after
he lost a re-election bid,
The people have spoken … and they must be
punished. In turning
to Zohran Mamdani,
New Yorkers are preparing to reacquaint
themselves with Kochs
wisdom.
Rich Lowry is editor of
the National Review.
NOTICE
to think that you should
starve yourself during the
day so that you can indulge
later on. Thats not a
healthy attitude, according
to Sawer. What tends to
happen is that you over-indulge to the point of eating
so much that you dont feel
very good afterwards, she
said.
Desserts? You bet.
Consider a healthier version of the dessert, but in
any case, limit yourself to
one piece rather than two
or three or more.
Sawer recommends the
online publication, Healthy
Food Options for Fall and
Winter Gatherings, available online.
More ideas on healthy
living are available online
from K-State Research and
Extension, or at local extension offices in Kansas.

MARINES…

Indeed, there are no former Marines. As the saying goes: Once a Marine,
always a Marine.
Marines mark their birthday each year with formal
balls, cake-cutting ceremonies, and toasts to those
who have gone before.
Tradition holds that the
first slice of birthday cake
goes to the oldest Marine
present, who then passes it
to the youngest symbolizing the passing of knowledge and legacy.
Anderson County is
home to one of the more
unique examples of the
Marine family. Jake and
Katrina Fisher were both
enlisted when they met.
He from Overland Park
and she from Nebraska,
their relationship survived
numerous separations and
uneven deployments before
they both retired and married. They say what they
treasure most are the fellow Marines with whom
the served, and the sense
they were doing something vitally important to
which few civilians aspire.
For Mondays celebration,
theyll hang with their family, maybe have a cookout,
and count their blessings.
Marines dont just join
a service, said retired
Sgt. Maj. Tom Bradley of
Topeka, who served in
Vietnam. They join a family that never lets you go.
You can be out for 40 years,
and someone will still call
you Marine.
Todays Marine Corps
numbers about 177,000
active-duty personnel and
33,000 reservists, continuing its dual mission as an
expeditionary
fighting
force and rapid responder
to crises worldwide and
domestic.
Unlike other branches of
the U.S. Military in recent
years, Marines have met
their recruiting goals for
both 2024 and FY 2025.

Vining scholarship has been supporting future
agronomists at Kansas State for over 3 decades
Sorghum Connection launches second year
of comprehensive winter educational series
Farming and academics
drove Brian Vinings life.
Now, more than 30 years
a f t e r
losing
his battle with
cancer,
Vinings
legacy
lives on
in the 27
K-State
Vining
students
supported
by the scholarship bearing
his name.
As a student at Central
Heights High School outside Richmond, Kansas,
Vining served as president of the National Honor
Society and local and district FFA chapters, earned
his state FFA Farmer
degree, graduated co-valedictorian and was named a
State of Kansas Scholar.
Vining continued his
success at Kansas State
University, where he
earned his undergraduate
degree in 1984 and his masters in 1989, both in agronomy. He served as president of the Wheat State
Agronomy Club and vice
president of Ag Council.
He was also a member of
Alpha Zeta and Phi Kappa
Phi honorariums. He went
on to work for Garst Seed
Company, which later
became ICI Seeds, helping
farmers earn the best yields
possible in his role as a certified professional agrono-
MANHATTAN, Kan.
The Sorghum Connection
Series, a collaboration
between the Kansas Grain
Sorghum
Commission
(KGSC), K-State Research
& Extension, and the
K-State Department of
Plant Pathology, announces its second year of comprehensive winter educational series focused on
enhancing the profitability of sorghum producers
across the state.
Following this years
field day events, which
welcomed over 120 growers, Sorghum Connection
offers an additional series
of multiple one-day events
across Central and Western
Kansas. The events are
scheduled for Dec. 3 at
the South Hutchinson
Community
Building
in Hutchinson; Dec. 4 at
the Buffalo Bill Cultural
Center in Oakley; and Dec.
5 at the Hy-Plains Feedyard
in Montezuma.
Attendees will receive
valuable data-driven information from industry
leaders from K-State, the
mist.
In 1995, Vinings family,
led by his parents Pat and
the late Gene Vining, established the scholarship to
support students who participate in the agronomy
club.
Carrying on the legacy
As the most recent recipient of the Brian E. Vining
Agronomy Scholarship,
Faith Winkelmann carries
on Vinings work helping
farmers.
Winkelmann, a 2025
graduate in agronomy,
works as an ag advisor for
Frontier Cooperative in
Genoa, Nebraska, near her
hometown. And shes working toward becoming a certified professional agronomist.
My whole purpose as
an agronomist is to be
there for the farmer and
answer their questions,
Winkelmann said.
As an out-of-state student, the Vining scholarship was a big stress reliever.
I was involved with the
agronomy club and on the
K-State crop judging team,
so having scholarships
really helps you focus a bit
more on those activities,
Winkelmann said. I thank
the Vinings for the support.
It really means a lot to us
as students to have the support of people in the industry and have them contribute to our success and
growth as young adults.
Recognizing potential
Scholarships invest in
the success of students,
but they also support the
universitys ability to
recruit and retain talented
Wildcats.
Many students would
not be able to attend K-State
without scholarships, said
Nathan Nelson, professor and graduate program
director for the Department
of Agronomy. Notably,
the Vining scholarship is
awarded to students who
are active in the Wheat
State Agronomy Club. It
enhances student learning
by enabling and encouraging students to participate
in valuable leadership and
career development opportunities provided by the
club.
Nelson also points out
that beyond financial support, scholarships also
serve as recognition of a
students hard work and
potential.
This kind of affirmation can significantly boost
student confidence and
motivation as they pursue
their education and careers
in agronomy, he said.
Twenty-seven students
have received the Vining
scholarship, carrying on
Brians legacy of academic
excellence, industry expertise and above all, helping
farmers.

Ticks & Flies: New animal health challenges meeting December 4th
Frontier
Extension
District will host a New
Animal Health Challenges
meeting on December 4 at
7:00 p.m. at the Overbrook
Livestock
Commission
Company in Overbrook,
Kansas.
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
does not mean there is an
established population, it's
critical to raise awareness
about the diseases this pest
can carry and the potential
impact on cattle herds.
A primary concern is the
tick's 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,
with 38% testing positive.
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
Soybean, corn growers urged to
scout for disease threats after harvest
MANHATTAN, Kan.
Kansas farmers wrapping
up harvest season are being
urged to stay alert to crop
diseases that could impact
next years yields, according to Rodrigo Onofre, row
crop plant pathologist with
K-State Extension.
For soybean producers, the primary concern
remains the soybean cyst
nematode (SCN) a microscopic pest responsible for
the greatest yield losses in
U.S. soybeans.
The soybean cyst nematode is the number one
yield-limiting pathogen of
soybeans, Onofre said. In
Kansas, were seeing high
levels of SCN, especially in
central Kansas.
The nematode has
now been identified in 64
Kansas counties, accounting for more than 85% of
the states soybean production. Because it often causes no visible symptoms
during the growing season,
Onofre said it can silent-
LYMAN…
FROM PAGE 4
ly rob producers of 2 to 10
bushels per acre.
Its a difficult pathogen
to identify in the field, he
said. Sometimes we dont
even see it during the year,
but then the harvested crop
is lower than usual.
Onofre
recommends
testing fields for SCN soon
after harvest when soil conditions are good for sampling. Its going to be easier for you to collect those
samples and start planning
for next year either for a
better variety, a rotation,
or even a seed treatment,
depending on your levels,
he said.
Samples can be sent to
the K-State Plant Diagnostic
Lab in Manhattan, or producers can contact their
local extension agent for
help submitting soil samples.
Corn growers, meanwhile, face increasing challenges from tar spot a
fungal disease that has
expanded its reach across
Kansas in recent years.
Tar spot has been in
Kansas for three or four
seasons now, Onofre said.
Weve seen it move toward
the western and central
parts of the state. That worries me a little bit because
those were late-season
detections.
The disease has been
especially active in northeast Kansas, but recent
reports in Lincoln and
Smith counties mark its
westward spread. Western
Kansas reliance on irrigation, coupled with cooler
fall temperatures, can create ideal conditions for the
disease to thrive.
Producers should still
be scouting for tar spot,
but consider adding a corn
hybrid that is resistant
to tar spot, Onofre said.
Through resistance alone,
we can see yield benefits of
up to 10 bushels compared
to susceptible hybrids.
We didnt lose New York
because of turnout. We lost
it because we lost control of
our borders.

Viking runners shine at State Boys finish 3rd, girls 6th
WAMEGO – The Central
Heights Cross Country program once again proved
why it stands among the
best in Kansas, as both
the boys and girls teams
delivered powerful performances at the 2A State
Championships in Wamego
this past weekend. The rolling hills and winding turns
of the Wamego Country
Club course are known for
testing even the toughest
runners in Kansas, but the
Vikings rose to the challenge with determination
and unity.
The boys team faced a
daunting task entering the
season, having to replace
five of seven runners from
last years record-setting
State Championship team.
What could have been a
rebuilding year instead
became another chapter
of excellence. Through
months of hard work and
belief, the Vikings not only
stayed competitive but
climbed back onto the state
podium, finishing third
overall and extending their
streak to 10 consecutive
seasons ranked no lower
than eighth in either 3A or
2A.
Stetson Miller led the
way with his most complete
race of the season, holding
his position throughout
to finish ninth in 17:10.28
and earn All-State honors.
Josiah Meyer joined him
on the podium, placing
13th in 17:19.10. The teams
strength came from its
depth, as Cash Miller (35th,
18:13.03), Aidan Howland
(36th, 18:17.46), and Ben
Wuertz (38th, 18:23.76)
ran in a tight pack, each

meet last Saturday in Wamego.
pushing the others forward. Knox Cannady (49th,
18:35.66) and senior Aydan
Dunbar (75th, 19:44.52)
rounded out a strong team
performance that secured
another podium finish.
Both senior boys graduate
as some of the most decorated athletes in school history, each contributing to
three State Championship
teams across cross country
and track and field.
The Central Heights
girls team also made history with a sixth-place
finish in what was considered one of the deepest
and most competitive 2A
fields ever assembled. The
result marks one of the
highest team finishes in
school history. Sophomore
Ebony Hughes continued
her impressive season as a
top-25 runner in the state,
finishing 23rd in 21:06.07.
Freshman
Makenzie
Moon brought energy and
promise in her first state
appearance, placing 28th
in 21:22.02. Sisters Lily and
Katelyn Burkdoll followed
close behind, finishing
50th and 57th respectively.
Senior Arabella Dunbar
saved her best for last, setting a personal record and
breaking the 23-minute barrier with a time of 22:58.17.
Perhaps the gutsiest race of
the day came from Caitlynn
Detwiler, who battled
through severe shin splints
and a recent foot injury to
finish in 28:18.86.
Head Coach Troy Prosser
praised her efforts, She
has battled crippling shin
splints and suffered a foot
injury a week ago that likely would make anyone tap
out but she limped through
3.1 miles for her teammates
because thats what these
girls mean to each other.
Despite not winning
state, their coach reiterated that if anyone thought
these teams fell short, they
are wrong. Both the boys
and girls wear the Viking
logo so proudly that they
could be considered the
embodiment of the logo
itself. Vikings were fearless warriors and so are
each and every member of
the Central Heights Cross
Country program, Prosser
stated proudly.
Coach added one last
thought to close out the season to put everything into
persepective, We should
all enjoy these moments,
give 1,000 times more support than we think is possible and appreciate the fact
that this school is represented at the highest level
every single year. All good
things eventually come to
an end, but lets not wait
until things are over to
truly appreciate what these
kids are doing in front of
our eyes right now.

Jeff West overwhelms
the Bulldogs in the first
round of the playoffs
MERIDAN – The Anderson
County Bulldogs (3-6) ended
their 2025 football season
Friday night with a 456
loss on the road against
Jefferson West in the first
round of the Class 3A playoffs.
Quarterback
Landon
Schillig led the Anderson
County offense, completing
19 of 33 passes for 109 yards
and one touchdown. His
scoring strike came in the
third quarter on a 13-yard
pass to Aidan Steele.
Steele also led the team in
rushing with 39 yards on
eight carries and adding 15
receiving yards to go along
with his touchdown catch.
Receiver Christian Barnett
was Schilligs top target
through the air, pulling in
10 receptions for 56 yards.
Zach Schaffer caught four
passes for 25 yards, while
Westin Wright added a
nine-yard reception and
27 rushing yards on 15
attempts.
Defensively,
Schaffer
anchored the unit with 12
tackles, including four tackles for loss. Steele added six
tackles and two assists, and
Barnett contributed five
solo tackles.
Jeff West did the majority
of their damage through
the air.
Their quarterback, Brixton
Schwinn, completed 16 of
28 passes for 345 yards and
5 touchdowns.
The Bulldogs limited their
ground attack to just 73
yards on 25 carries for the
night.
Council Groves
cruises past Vikings
COUNCIL GROVE – The
Central Heights Vikings
(2-7) saw their 2025 football season come to an end
Thursday night with a 670
loss to Council Grove in the
opening round of the Class
2A playoffs.
Central Heights faced a
powerful Council Grove
squad led by quarterback
Luke Stewart, who threw
for 370 yards and six
touchdowns. The Vikings
defense battled throughout the night, led by Max
Chrisjohn, who recorded 14
total tackles, including 10
solo stops. Hans Higbie and
Colt King each added four
tackles, while Chase Bones
and Gage Peine contributed
three apiece.
Offensively, the Vikings
found limited room to
operate against a fast and
physical Council Grove
defense.
Quarterback
Chase Bones completed one
pass for six yards, while
Sam Thackeray connected
on one of three passes for
eight yards. On the ground,
King led the Vikings with
24 rushing yards on 10 carries, followed by Chrisjohn
with 19 yards and Bones
with 13.
In all, the Vikings were limited to just 83 yards on the
night, compared to 513 for
Council Grove.
In the passing game, King
and Chrisjohn each hauled
in one reception, gaining
eight and six yards respectively.
Lancers drop first round
playoff game 51-0
HOPE It was a rough finish to a disappointing season for the Crest Lancers
(1-8) football team as they
dropped a 51-0 decision to
Rural Vista High School,
with the game being called
at halftime due to the mercy
rule.
The loss marked the 8th
consecutive defeat after
opening the season with a

The victory for Rural
Vista was their 7th straight

K-State Ag Profitability conference in Burlington aims to help farmers navigate tough economy
By Pat Melgares, K-State
Extension news service
MANHATTAN With
Kansas farmers facing
rising financial pressures,
Kansas State University
is hosting a series of
Agricultural Profitability
Conferences
across
the state, beginning in
December and continuing
through early February.
The
conferences,
Making Cents of a
Shifting Ag Economy,
are
organized
by
K-States Department of
Agricultural Economics,
offering insights into economic trends, farm policy,
land values and strategies
to maintain profitability
during difficult times.
The goal of this is to
help crop producers deal
with the struggling economy, said department
head Allen Featherstone.
In 2021, only 4.4% of
Kansas farmers had a
negative net farm income.
But in 2024, that number
jumped to 28.5%. Many
producers are feeling the
strain.
Featherstone said federal government payments helped soften the
blow in 2024, noting that
$10 billion was distributed
nationwide to support the
farm economy.
Theres talk of a $15
billion payment this fall,
Featherstone said. If that
occurs, its important for
farmers to think through
how they would invest
that money to prepare for
what could be a difficult
2026 and 2027.
The conferences will
focus on preparing farmers to navigate economic
downturns, manage input
costs, and take advantage
of new opportunities.
We want to help producers think through what
they can do now to position themselves for when
profitability improves,
Featherstone said.
K-State farm economist Robin Reid, one of
the conference presenters, said this years topics
include updates on agricultural policy, farm bill
changes, and land values.
Reid will be joined by
Jenny Ifft, professor and
Flinchbaugh Agricultural
Policy Chair at K-State, to
discuss provisions in the
recently passed One Big
Beautiful Bill Act.
A lot of the elements
we typically think of in a
farm bill were in that act
enhancements to crop
insurance, Agricultural
Risk Coverage, Price Loss
Coverage, and more, Reid
said. While the changes
are smaller in scope than
past farm bills, they will
be very beneficial to farmers.
Reid added that the conferences will also discuss
stress and mental health,
as well as farm succession
and retirement planning.
Theres a generation
of baby boomer farmers
out there who may be
thinking: Do I want to go
through a couple more
years of low commodity
prices? Reid said. This
may be the time to bring
in the next generation and
teach them how to manage through a down economy.
She emphasized that
despite the challenges,
there are still opportunities for farmers.
There will be marketing opportunities ahead,
or possibilities to try new
crops or diversifying oper-
ations. We dont want
these events to feel like its
all doom and gloom, she
said. We are promoting
these as profitability conferences, and thats our
focus.
Each event will include
time for open discussion,
giving attendees a chance
to ask questions and share
experiences with fellow
producers and experts.
Interaction during difficult times is important,
Featherstone said. It
helps farmers understand
theyre not alone and that

department director Troy
Armstrong, who supported Wes McClains winning
candidacy. Controversy
apparently continued with
city firemen during a Jan.
23 fire in Garnett immediately prior to Lockes
dismissal. Locke did not
respond to requests for
comment at the time.
Under the Kansas Open
Records Act, records
made, maintained or kept
by or in possession of any
public agency are open
for public inspection, to
include settlement agree-
ments. If a county commission, its counsel, or
an insurer settles a claim,
that agreement is a public
record once executed. But
once the matter is settled
and paid, courts have ruled
that the settlement amount,
terms, and parties are open
to the public particularly
when taxpayer funds are
involved.
The countys legal counselor James Campbell confirmed the document was
a public record, but as of
press time a copy had not
been provided to the newspaper.

LOCAL
K-State expert highlights gut health as key to managing diabetes
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW 11-06-2025 / SUBMITTED
Eli White on October 30 playing on the playground at the
Santa Fe Trail depot with his grandma Ya Ya, (Yvonne
Ryan).
By Pat Melgares, K-State
Research and Extension news
service
MANHATTAN, Kan. -November marks National
Diabetes Month, a time to
spotlight one of the most
pressing chronic health conditions in the United States.
Alongside well-known
topics like blood sugar and
insulin, A Kansas State
University expert also is
drawing attention to a lesser-known but powerful player in diabetes management:
the gut microbiome.
We have trillions of
microbes living on and
inside our bodies, most of
them in the gut, and usually
they live in harmony, said
Priscilla Brenes, a nutrition
and health specialist with
K-State Extension. They
often provide beneficial support, but when theres an
imbalance called dysbiosis
it can actually be harmful.
That imbalance, researchers are finding, may be closely linked to the development
of Type 2 diabetes and obe-
sity. When the gut microbiome is out of balance, it can
lead to inflammation, weakened immunity, and even
disruption in how the body
processes sugar.
The gut microbiome
begins forming at birth and
continues to evolve throughout life. Brenes notes that
factors such as how we were
born via natural birth or
C-section the foods we eat,
our stress levels, medication
use, and even our environment influence the microbes
in our gut.
One way to support a
healthy gut is through probiotics beneficial bacteria
found in fermented foods
like yogurt, sauerkraut,
kimchi, kefir, kombucha,
and miso.
These probiotics help
maintain a healthy community in our gut and support
immune response, Brenes
said. They help with our
immune response, or how
our bodies respond when we
get sick, or to other pathogens in the environment.
Brenes said yogurt is
a common choice for adding probiotics to ones diet:
When shopping for yogurt,
look for labels that say live
cultures. That means the
probiotics are still active
when you consume them.
Just as important are prebiotics fibers from fruits,
vegetables, legumes, nuts,
and whole grains that feed
the good bacteria.
Think of it like this:
just as we eat every day,
our (beneficial) gut microbiota also need to eat, Brenes
said. Prebiotics are their
food source.
Brenes said the connection to diabetes comes down
to what those good bacteria
produce when they digest
fiber: short-chain fatty acids,
or SCFAs.
These SCFAs help
strengthen the gut lining, acting as a protective
screen, Brenes said. They
help prevent harmful substances from entering the
bloodstream and support
better blood sugar control by
reducing inflammation and
helping insulin work more
effectively.
According
to
the
American
Diabetes
Association, nearly 258,000
Kansans have been diagnosed with diabetes, or
approximately 10.3% of the
states population. The ADA
estimates 17,000 new cases
are diagnosed in Kansas
each year.
Brenes recommends a
pair of publications available for free from the K-State
Extension bookstore: Good
Gut Health, and Taking a
Look at Fermented Foods.
Local extension offices
also will have information
two community-based diabetes programs, Dining with
Diabetes and the new Live in
Control Diabetes program.
Live in Control pairs individuals with diabetes and
a support partner to work
together on managing blood
sugar, medications, and diet,
Brenes said.
Its about not doing it
alone, she said. And
November is a great time to
start taking those steps.
