Arsonist faces sentencing as flock rebuilds church
No Contest pleas will
carry youth to sentencing
in district court Tuesday
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
COLONY A 17 year-old man
from Colony who pled no contest last month to felony arson
and misdemeanor battery will be
sentenced Tuesday in Anderson
County District Court.
While Kaiden Robbs legal
demands came to fruition, members of Colonys Community
Church have been rebuilding
what he destroyed.
Robb pled no contest to juvenile charges of arson in an incident that resulted in the destruction of the Colony Community
Church the day after Christmas
last year. He originally faced an
additional charge of aggravated domestic battery in a related
incident with a family member,
but that charge
was reduced to
misdemeanor
battery.
U n d e r
Kansas law, a
plea of no contest or nolo
contendre
avoids a specifRobb
ic admittance
of guilt but is a
concession to the sentence of the
court on the charges. The result
is the same as a guilty plea
the court will enter a conviction
and the defendant will face the
same criminal penalties, fines
and sentencing. A no contest plea
generally cannot be used as an
admission of fault in a separate
civil lawsuit stemming from the
same incident.
Robb became involved in a
domestic dispute with his grandparents December 26 of last year,
according to charging documents
threatening one of them with a
knife before being found later
in the smoke-filled church in
Colony.
A statement from Anderson
County Emergency Preparedness
said Robb was retrieved from the

Interest in these programs
continues to grow, and we want

need for real-world jobs, the
post reads. The message says
the proposed bond plan would
put all the districts vo-ag programs together for more efficiencies and allow growth and
program improvement aimed at
meeting the needs of students

USD 365 board members could budget better, analyst says She says
Budget padding over
time creates chance to
lower property tax
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT A state fiscal policy think tank caught wind of a
recent Anderson County Review
story about a near 20% budget
increase in USD 365 for the coming school year, and offered up
examples of how board members
and other elected officials often
miss opportunities to reduce
property taxes.
Dave Trabert with the Kansas
Policy Institute said the recent
local district story included
defaults by which school board
frequently raise taxes year over
year
without
necessarily needing to. His analysis was part of a
recent story in
The Sentinel, a
Kansas news services focusing
on fiscal policy
owned by KPI.
Government
entities are prohibited from spending more
than the budget they publish,
so they routinely budget more
than they will actually spend to
stay under their limit, Trabert
said. A little wiggle room may
be understandable, but too much
can lead to unnecessary property tax increases.
He said the print-only arti-
she is,
but is she?
cle in the Anderson County
Review found an example of that with the USD 365
Garnett school district. The
table below shows the districts
budgets for all spending except
for debt payments over the
last five years exceeded actual
spending by about $3 million per
year, or 22% above actual spend-
ing. Each year, the excess budget
amount exceeded property taxes
collected for the Local Option
Budget and Capital Outlay.
Trabert said the Garnett
School District could have
reduced property taxes with better budgeting.
er Dane Hicks credited the generosity of the community with
continuing the local tradition of
giving through the annual program. Hicks said the local effort
was started by a Marine veteran serving on the Garnett Police
Department more than 20 years
ago. That effort fell by the wayside
when that officer left the community for another job. The Review
picked up the duty several years

later, Hicks said.
Its always been driven by people
and businesses in the community
who have the heart and the capacity to share during Christmastime,
Hicks said. Were just the catalyst
to talk it up and be a downtown
face for those drop-offs.

OBITUARIES
You need to read this book! Help my unbelief!
Speaking Truth by Clint
Decker
CLAY CENTER George
Washington, the first
President of the United
States, said about Gods
Word, It is impossible to
rightly govern the world
without the Bible. The
legendary General Douglas
MacArthur commented
regarding the Scriptures,
Believe me, sir, never a
night goes by, be I ever so
tired, but I read the Word
of God before I go to bed.
Famous author H. G. Wells
observed, The Bible has
been the Book that held
together the fabric of
Western civilization… The
civilization we possess
could not come into existence and could not have
been sustained without it.
The first book printed
on the Gutenberg press in
1455 was the Bible. Since
then, it has become historys best-selling book. Over
100 million are printed each
year with over 6 billion currently in print around the
world. It also is the worlds
most widely translated
and distributed book. Out
of 7,394 languages spoken
across all seven continents,
3,658 have either a full Bible
or some portion of it.
It is without debate. The
Bible has been and continues to be, the worlds
most influential book by
every measure. And that
is against all odds. There
is some level of restriction
on Bible use in 33 nations,
like North Korea, Saudi
Arabia and Afghanistan.
Historically and even presently, people have been
jailed or killed for translating, printing, distributing,
reading or even owning a
Bible.
Why all this about the
Bible? Because you need
to read it! It is urgent. It
will change your life, like it
has millions of people down
through the course of history. Here are seven reasons
you need to start reading
the Bible today.
The Bible reveals who
your Creator is. I made
the earth and created man
on it; it was my hands that
stretched out the heavens (Isaiah 45:12) You
did not come from a tadpole
or a big bang. You were
hand crafted by Almighty
God. The Bible helps you to
know who you are and who
God and His only Son is.
The Bible answers your
greatest questions. Fear
God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole
duty of man. (Ecclesiastes
12:13) The Bible answers
questions like, What is my
purpose in life?, Is there
life after death?, Why is
Dja have

there so much suffering
and evil in the world? and
many more.
The Bible uncovers your
supreme struggle. For
out of the heart come evil
thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality,
theft, false witness, slander. These are what defile a
person. (Matthew 15:19-20)
The Bible teaches how you
have a heart problem, and
it shows how you can get a
new heart through the life,
death and resurrection of
Jesus.
The Bible teaches you
how to live. Look carefully
then how you walk, not as
unwise but as wise, making
the best use of the time,
because the days are evil.
(Ephesians 5:15-16) The
Bible teaches about marriage, family, relationships,
conflicts, justice, finances,
government, confronting
evil, doing good to our
neighbors and a wide range
of other subjects.
The Bible is reliable. All
Scripture is breathed out
by God and profitable for
teaching, for reproof, for
correction, and for training in righteousness (2
Timothy 3:16) When you
open the Bible, you can
trust it. It does not lie.
The Bible is your source
of truth. The sum of your
word is truth (Psalm
119:160) Gods Word tells us
what is right and wrong and
good and evil. There are
no guessing games when
it comes to morals. Gods
Word lays it out straight.
The Bible is your source
of hope. May the God of
hope fill you with all joy
and peace in believing,
so that by the power of
the Holy Spirit you may
abound in hope. (Romans
15:13) When you read the
Bible and discover your
Creator, find answers to big
questions, receive forgiveness for your sins, learn
how to live in difficult circumstances and encounter
what is true and good it
inspires hope.
A prayer for you Lord
God, I pray you will bring
people to read their Bible
today. May they open its
pages and discover the
abundant riches of your
grace and truth you have
waiting for them. In Jesus
name. Amen.
In Mark 9 we read the
account of a boy who has
very serious seizures. The
father tells Jesus the boy is
possessed with an evil spirit. Judging from the fathers
demeanor, it appears he
has tried without success
to find some help to heal
the boy. When the disciples
were not able to heal the
boy, the man placed what
faith he had left in Jesus.
After explaining the situation to Jesus, the man says,
But if you can do anything, take pity on us and
help us. Jesus response
is, If you can? Everything
is possible for him who
believes. Immediately the
boys father exclaimed, I
do believe; help me to overcome my unbelief!
The dominant theme in
this passage is faith and
doubt. Jesus says to the
man, What do you mean,
if I can! The man is not
sure that Jesus can heal
the boy. He has faced so
many disappointments,
and as human beings, we
allow
disappointment
to overcome our faith.
Disappointment maintains
a place in our thoughts, and
it weighs very heavily upon
us when we get pushed into
a corner. When the man
says, Help me to overcome

my unbelief, in essence he
says, my faith is far from
perfect; I may not have
enough faith. If my faith is
not enough, please help me
to have enough.
It is the acknowledgment of our inadequacy
that allows God to work
in our lives. This is true
at the point of salvation.
Salvation comes to inadequate sinners who realize their need and ask for
forgiveness. When we are
faced with something that
seems to overpower our
faith, we dont seem to have
enough faith to follow Jesus
in that moment, so we ask
for more faith. The statement, I believe; help my
unbelief, is a statement of
faith and an admission that
our faith is far from perfect.

OPINION
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Thursday, October 16, 2025
Peace in the Middle East:
Not bad for a former McDonalds worker
President Donald Trump, who worked a
shift at a McDonalds restaurant in Bucks
County, Pennsylvania, while on the campaign trail in 2024, negotiated a groundbreaking, historic, and much-needed
peace deal between Israel and the terrorist
group Hamas. The ceasefire will hopefully
halt the brutal war in Gaza that has lasted
more than two years, resulting in thousands of casualties.
What, like it was hard?
It was quite difficult, actually. Trump
succeeded where many diplomats, government officials, international leaders,
scholars, geopolitical experts, Democrats,
and Biden administration officials failed.
The erstwhile fast food employee negotiated an agreement that secured the release
of hostages living under Hamas captivity,
ended military operations in Gaza, and
restored aid trucks to the innocent people Hamas was exploiting to advance its
efforts. Nearly a year after serving Big
Macs, milkshakes, and french fries to suburban Philadelphians, Trump defied the
expectations of political rivals, naysayers,
critics, media members, journalists, podcast hosts, social media influencers, those
on the Left, and even some on the Right
who publicly prayed for peace but secretly
wished he faltered.
Trump took to social media on
Wednesday evening to announce that
Israel and Hamas have both signed off
on the first Phase of our Peace Plan. He
hailed it as the first step to everlasting
peace and a great day, rightfully so.
I am very proud to announce that
Israel and Hamas have both signed off on
the first Phase of our Peace Plan, Trump
posted to his Truth Social account. This
means that ALL of the Hostages will be
released very soon, and Israel will withdraw their Troops to an agreed upon line
as the first steps toward a Strong, Durable,
and Everlasting Peace.
All Parties will be treated fairly! he
added. This is a GREAT Day for the Arab

and Muslim World, Israel, all surrounding
Nations, and the United States of America,
and we thank the mediators from Qatar,
Egypt, and Turkey, who worked with us
to make this Historic and Unprecedented
Event happen. BLESSED ARE THE
PEACEMAKERS!
Trump left McDonalds in October 2024
to become president. Negotiating geopolitical agreements, ceasefires, and Middle
East conflicts are part of the expectations
for the new gig. Yet accomplishing such
feats is far from easy. Suffice it to say, dealing with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahus desire to defend his country
from Hamas is obviously much more difficult than flipping burgers. Nevertheless,
Trump deserves significant credit for putting this deal together.
Its a startling reality that many of
Trumps critics had to admit. Consider the
words of Washington Post columnist and
editor David Ignatius, who appeared on
MSNBCs Morning Joe to discuss the peace
deal.
The deal that President Trump is
announcing, played a key part in negotiating,
is a significant change, Ignatius said. This
war was blocked for two years. President
Biden, who preceded him, was unable to find
a way to stop it. President Trump found that
way by being tough on both sides.
Not bad for a former fry slinger. ###

KANSAS COMMENTARY
RON SMITH, AUTHOR/EDITORIALIST
Secretary nominee Pete Hegseth have
faced scrutiny over their ink. Combine
that with the very real phenomenon of
tattoo regret, and its no surprise an
entire industry has emerged around
tattoo removal. Removal folks brag the
process is less painful than getting the
tattoo in the first place. Unnhuh.
The modern proliferation of tattoos,
now a multibillion-dollar industry, largely began in the 1990s. Tattooed celebrities, musicians and athletes helped
normalize tattoos as a form of personal
expression. The media glamorized tattoos as a sign of freedom, then the media
dummkopfs pivoted to shaming anyone
who dared question the trend. Tattoos
began being viewed less as a mark of
a fringe subculture and more as an art
form and fashion statement. Some celebs
like Taylor Swift call the fad quirky. She
has no tats. Taylors fianc, KC Chiefs
If we would quit judging people based on
whether theyre Democrat or Republican,
this world would be a better place. Thank
you.
Last weeks review listed the quote theme
of 4H, showing the takeover by radical
left Democrat activists. It calls not for
equality, but Marxist equity, meaning
discrimination for the same outcomes. It
calls for power of public universities,
which are radical left-dominated indoctrination camps and power bases. It calls
tight end Travis Kelce, has Taylor tatted
on his bicep, the same bicep that bulldozes Chiefs opponents after he catches a
pass. True love.
Then there are the whispers about
horrid hidden messages etched into
flesh. The progressive choir, (those wideeyed Democrats who torched $1.5 billion
trying to sell Kamala Harris to us like a
1934 Buick on a new car lot) insist that
Pete Hegseths arm and chest tattoos are
emblems of Christian Nationalism, or at
least the inevitable weary chorus, White
Supremacy. Im sure some claim his
tats are occult blueprints for the Fourth
Reich.
U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth
Hegseths critics need stronger meds, or
at least a Wehrmacht helmet.
Boxer Mike Tyson had a tribal design
tattooed on his face to reflect strength
and authority and nobody tells him he
favors White Supremacy. Not to his face,
they dont.
Pennsylvania
Senator
John
Fetterman, in his earlier political life as
a town mayor, had an arm tattoo declaring, I Will Make You Hurt. Fetterman
looks like a former biker and could probably wear his biker leathers onto the
Senate floor. Hes big enough the Senate
doormen wont stop him. But he covered
over the tat when he became Senator.

NATIONAL COMMENTARY
RICH LOWRY, King Features Syndicate
is very personal to Hegseth, who said
the day of his confirmation hearing that
hed done five sets of 47 push-ups that
morning. If the secretary of war can do
regular, hard PT, so can every member of
our joint force, he told the generals.
But you know whod agree with him
about the centrality of fitness to the military profession? The great 20th-century
statesman George C. Marshall. In a 1920
letter, Marshall called being physically
strong one of the foundations of the military profession. As he said of military
leaders in 1940 congressional testimony,
they have to inspire their men when
they are hungry and exhausted and desperately uncomfortable and in great danger, and only a man of positive characteristics of leadership, with the physical
stamina that goes with it, can function
We keep putting sports figures up there
with God, and rappers and dancers on the
things that arent really what its about in
our world. If we put them above God and
above everybody else, no wonder were so
messed up. There is nobody in this world
that is better than someone else. We all are
created even.

Hegseths right: We dont need fat, sloppy soldiers
Doesnt Secretary of Defense Pete
Hegseth realize that push-ups are passe?
His speech to an audience of generals
hed summoned to Washington, D.C., has
mystified and outraged critics who think
his obsession with physical fitness is outof-date at best and ridiculous at worst.
Frankly, its tiring to look out at
combat formations, or really any formation, and see fat troops, Hegseth
told the assembled brass. Likewise, its
completely unacceptable to see fat generals and admirals in the halls of the
Pentagon.
Today, at my direction, every member of the joint force, at every rank,
is required to take a PT test twice a
year, as well as meet height and weight
requirements twice a year, every year of
service, he continued.
Cue the eye-rolling.
A piece in The Atlantic observed that
Hegseths dream world is the world of
Ranger school — an Army training program — not the actual world of complex
military operations involving land, air,
sea, space and cyberspace.
He was accused of fat-shaming, and
the ladies on The View didnt get it.
Joy Behar called him out for his very
retro vision for our armed forces, and
asked, Why is he obsessed with fat?
Her colleague Sunny Hostin chimed in,
Yeah, and fitness?
Theres no doubt that physical fitness

Cult of the tatoo: Americas inking plague
The cult of the tattoo has spread across
America like oil dripping on garage
floors, impossible to scrub clean no matter how many magic solvents are used.
What used to be the artistic realm of
bikers, convicts, and a few sailors has
been gentrified into a pan-gender hobby,
a mass-market pastime in elective scarring. Parents have a hard time saying
no to a child wanting a tat when Mom
and Dad met at the tattoo parlor. You
dont even need to leave the couchjust
fire up YouTube. Within minutes youll
find some suburban Aztec wannabe ramming metal through a nose, tongue, eyebrow, or nipples, convinced the reinvented 14th-century savagery is showing off
21st-century originality.
Artist At Large Tatoo/New York City
And dont ask about tattoos and piercings of the male and female private
parts, although it is out there and a few
of our demented subculture spend a lot
of time telling their doctors all about it.
Google your hearts out on this topic.
Tattoos go back a few years. Since
5,000 B.C., they have been part of different societies on different levels.
Millennials and Gen Z are the two most
inked of current generations. According
to the Statista Research Department,
in 2021, 41% of millennials and 23% of
Gen Z have at least one tattoo. Some
employersincluding the U.S. Army
have limits on excessive tattooing, and
high-profile figures like former Defense
for a safe, diverse, and inclusive environment, which is a radical left Democrat dog
whistle to exclude those with traditional
religious values.
under those conditions.
Needless to say, combat is an inherently physical activity. It requires
incredible exertion for long stretches
of time under great stress. It is necessary to carry heavy objects — a wounded
comrade, artillery shells — in the worst
conditions imaginable. The age of AI and
drones hasnt changed this ineluctable
fact of human existence.
Its simply a fact that, as any platoon
leader will tell you, out-of-shape infantrymen arent as good at their jobs.
The emphasis on fitness is especially important when the recruiting pool,
reflecting an American society where
40% of people are obese, is in poorer
shape than it used to be.
And troops do notice and resent it
when they are meeting height and weight
standards and their comrades arent, or
when their superiors are out of shape. If
the colonel who is enforcing disciplinary
matters is fat, it is corrosive of his credibility.
Physical fitness standards were dumbed down over the years, and for DEI
reasons. The Army had been developing a fitness test that was supposed to
have gender-neutral standards. When it
emerged, not surprisingly, that women
werent doing as well on the test, the
Biden-era Army decided to gender-norm

Preparation is key to a successful calving season
MANHATTAN Kansas
State University veterinarian Gregg Hanzlicek said
being prepared ahead of
calving season is the best
way for producers to assure
they will bring home the
newborn calves successfully.
We're approaching the
end of the second trimester
and moving into the third
trimester which means the
metabolic demands of that
cow or heifer are going to
increase tremendously,
Hanzlicek said.
A key to having a successful calving and production season is for cows and
heifers to be in the appropri-
ate body condition, which
according to Hanzlicek is
a score of 5-7. He said he
has seen many cattle in the
3-4 range in the past few
months.
Were far enough away
from calving that we can
add condition to these cows
and heifers without (creating) an economic burden,
he said. It really comes
down to having a formulated ration that is balanced
for protein and energy.
For those wanting to add
scour vaccines to their prevention program, its time
to decide what vaccine they
are going to use, Hanzlicek
said. Look at the label and
schedule on the calendar
when they need to start vaccinating the cows and heifers.
Hanzlicek said heifers
will require two doses of
the scours vaccine, while
cows need one. The timing
of those vaccines is very,
very important, he said.
Also, Hanzlicek recommends establishing a clean
calving area to help reduce
the risk of scours. Theres
two major risk factors for
scours, he said. One is the
lack of colostrum consumption. The other is a contaminated environment that the
babies are born into.
Hanzlicek recommends
having a location to move
the pairs off the calving
area to keep the calving
facility less contaminated
with the scour organisms.
Getting the calf here
safely is another factor to
consider, "Most operations
are going to have to help at
least one animal during the
calving season, Hanzlicek
said. The last national survey indicated that 1 of every
100 heifers and 2 of every
100 adult cows will need
assistance.
Being prepared to pull a
calf is important. Hanzlicek
said producers should have
the following items on hand:
Clean straps or chains.
Cattle Chat: Managing cattle grazing cornstalks
By Lisa Moser, K-State
Research and Extension news
service
MANHATTAN Many know
the key to good health is eating a balanced diet, and in
the case of cattle grazing cornstalks, their diet may need
to be adjusted as the quality of the forage deteriorates,
according to the experts at the
Kansas State University Beef
Cattle Institute.
Speaking on a recent Cattle
Chat podcast, K-State beef
cattle nutritionist Phillip
Lancaster encouraged producers to walk the fields periodically to assess the quality of
the feed resource.
When producers first turn
out cattle on cornstalks, they
should take note of the amount
of leaves and husks available
to the cattle to graze and then
as the season goes on, they
should continue to walk the
fields to assess the quality of
that feed resource and adjust
accordingly, he said.
Lancaster said that if there
is too much moisture in the
field, the cornstalks will turn
black on the ends and the cattle will appear more hungry.
Cattle that are hungry
will be reaching through the
fence, Lancaster said.
Eventually, they will lose
a body condition score, but
Lancaster said that typically
will take 1-2 months before it
is noticeable to the producer.
To keep that from happening, Lancaster said the cattle
need to be supplemented with
protein when they are first
turned out to graze the cornstalks. As the amount of corn
residue declines, the herd may
need additional supplementation.
If the cornstalks are deteriorating, my next step is to
start supplementing the cattle with hay, Lancaster said.
The key is to move the hay to
different locations in the field
by either rolling out the bales
or moving where the bale is
placed to keep the cattle from
creating a spot that will have
a lower yield because the
ground is compacted.
He also urged producers to
watch the amount of moisture
the field is absorbing.
If the cattle are sinking in
2-4 inches into the ground then
producers should move the
cattle to a dry lot, Lancaster
said.
For those who are feeding
supplemental hay, K-State veterinarian Bob Larson said it is
important to know the quality

of the hay they are offering the
cattle.
There is a lot of variation
in hay quality so it is important to assess the quality of
the hay as a feed resource,
Larson said. Hay that is harvested late in the season will
not be as high in quality as
hay that is cut earlier in the
summer.
He said if the hay fed to
the herd was grown by the
producer, they would likely
have a good idea about the hay
quality. But if the hay is purchased, it might be beneficial
to conduct a forage test before
feeding it to the herd.
Lancaster agreed with the
forage test recommendation.
He also said cattle will consume hay until they are full
whether or not the hay is high
quality, so it is important to
take a look at the manure as
well.
If a producer notices
manure piles that are dry and
piled high, that is an indication that the cattle may not
be getting enough nutrients
from the hay and more protein
should be added to the diet to
help them better digest that
hay, Lancaster said.

Veterinarian's phone

Intervening at an appropriate time is important.
If we intervene too early
and the cow or heifer is not
dilated, we can injure the
tissues and hurt the calf,
Hanzlicek said. If we intervene too late, a lot of times
thats when we end up with
stillborn calves.
According to Hanzlicek,
once a cow has reached
the second stage of labor,
they should give birth
within 30 minutes. A heifer should calve within an
hour. Second stage labor is
when the heifer or cow can
be observed experiencing
uterine contractions, or the
water-bag or calfs feet are
visible.
If assistance from the
producer is needed, and
they are unable to extract
the calf within 15 minutes,
then help either a veterinarian or someone with
more experience — should
be called.
Following
calving,
the calf should be up and
nursing within two hours,
Hanzlicek said. If not, a
colostrum replacer can be
given to help get the calf
started.
Cattle Chat: Caring for
the bulls in the winter
By Lisa Moser, K-State
Research and Extension
news service
MANHATTAN
Many people know
maintaining a healthy
weight is one factor in
an overall health plan,
and weight maintenance
is also important in
the well-being of cattle,
according to the Kansas
State University Beef
Cattle Institute experts
who spoke on this topic
on a recent Cattle Chat
podcast.
For spring-calving
cow herds, oftentimes
beef nutritionists are
focused on maintaining the cows in an optimum body condition
through gestation and
into the calving season,
said K-State veterinarian Bob Larson. But he
stressed that it is also
important to make sure
the bulls are managed
to maintain a healthy
weight.
In the winter, a bulls
nutritional demands
are similar to those of
a cow in mid-gestation,
Larson said. Poor quality forage alone will
not meet his nutritional needs and so he may
need to be given some
protein supplement as
well.
Along with maintaining the bulls weight,
Larson recommends
that producers manage
them in a way that also
protects their reproductive health from the
winter weather.
If bulls have had a
rough winter, we may
see scrotal frostbite and
poor semen quality from
those animals in the
spring when we do their
breeding
soundness
exams, Larson said.
To keep this from
happening,
Larson
recommends producers offer the bulls protection from the wind,
allow them access to dry
bedding and keep them
away from the mud.
For producers who
are introducing new
bulls into the herd this
winter, Larson said it
is important to follow
a biosecurity plan to
reduce potential disease
risk.
I recommend producers quarantine all
new animals for about
30 days so that they
can watch for signs
of illness during that
time, Larson said.
Oftentimes if a disease
is going to break, it will
show up in that time.
He also offered one
additional biosecurity tip.It is also good
to institute a vaccine
program to make sure
both the new cattle and
the ones who have been
in the herd for a while
are following a similar
health protocol, Larson
said.

around looking into the surcharges placed on debit cards
by local businesses? There are states that allow surcharges to be applied to credit cards, but there are no states that
have a law allowing it to be charged when using a debit
card, even if the debit card is processed as credit. Why is
law enforcement not taking care of this surcharge that
businesses are putting against our credit cards and our
debit cards here in the state of Kansas?
Why is nobody thinking of the water plant with all this
talk about a swimming pool? The water plants needed
reconstruction for several years. Mr. Sheahan is correct.
Theres infrastructure that needs to be fixed before we
worry about swimming pools, amphitheaters, and stuff
like that.

Tats can be used to augment other body desecrations. Americans signed
up for 1.6 million cosmetic

its only a matter of time
before some tattoo-happy

Questions often arise
about how young is too
young to make life-altering
decisions, whether its a
gender transition decision
or a tattoo. Lawmakers
make trade-offs when setting age limits: eighteen to
vote, eighteen or nineteen
to get shot at while in the
military in a desert war, or
drinking booze, and twenty-one in some (but not all)
states for certain cosmetic
or body modifications.
But those decisions are
made by non-religious legislatures. As for religions,
Muslims generally disallow tattooing. Its interesting that tattooing might
be the one issue Muslims,
Christians and Jews agree
on. Look at Leviticus 19:28
Ye shall not make any
cuttings in your flesh for
the dead, nor print any
marks upon you: I am the
LORD.
Historically,
Jewish
and Christian scholars say
the passage is a warning
against pagan practices
of mourning. But the last
phrase, nor print any
marks upon you sure
looks like prohibiting body
art to me.
All I can picture is the
coming freak show when

gravity and time do their
dirty work, their once-muscled arms, backs, chests,
and buttocks will sag into

Even in kindergarten, gaps seen in extracurricular activities
by Jeff Grabmeier, Ohio State
News
It doesnt take long for
gaps to appear between
children who participate in
extracurricular activities
and kids who dont, a new
study found.
White kindergarten children were 2.6 times more
likely than children of
other races and ethnicities
to participate in athletics
the most common type of
extracurricular activity, the
research showed. Children
of highly educated mothers
were about twice as likely to
take part in sports as those of
less educated moms.
Similar results were
found in other types of afterschool activities.
Previous studies have
shown that extracurricular
activities can benefit children in many ways, so it is
concerning that gaps in participation show up so early,
said Elise Allen, a graduate student in educational
studies at The Ohio State
University.
If racial-ethnic minority students and those from
disadvantaged backgrounds
dont have access to extracurricular activities at a
young age, they may miss
opportunities that could help
them succeed in school,
Allen said.
Allen and Arianna Black,
also a graduate student in
educational studies at Ohio
State, led the research.
The study was published
recently in the Journal of
Applied
Developmental
Psychology.
Much of the existing
research on the effects of
extracurricular activities
have been done with adolescents.
Given the documented benefits for adolescents,
we thought it was crucial to
examine who is participating at earlier ages and what
benefits they might receive,
Black said.
The study involved 401
kindergarten students in
31 classrooms in one large
school district in Ohio. It is
part of a larger project, called
Early Learning Ohio, that
examines childrens learning, achievement and social
development during the first
five years of schooling, from
pre-k through third grade.
Parents or other primary
caretakers completed a questionnaire that asked about
their demographics, home
environment, extracurricular activities of their children, and other measures.
Parents reported if their
children participated in any
of five activities outside
of school: lessons (such as
music, dance or art), athletics, religious groups, organizations (such as Scouts) and
academic help/tutoring.
Results showed that about
one-quarter of the children
were involved in no activities. Slightly more than
one-quarter participated
in one activity, and another quarter participated in
two. The remainder were
involved with three, four or
five activities.
Overall, the average kindergarten student participated in 1.5 activities.
Sports were the most common extracurricular activity
(60%), followed by religious
activities (39%), lessons
(31%), organizations like
Scouts (15%) and tutoring
or additional academic prep
(8%).
The key finding was that
demographic factors including race and ethnicity, family income, and mothers
education all played a role in
whether kindergarten children participated in extracurricular activities.
Along with race and ethnicity, mothers education
had one of the strongest
links to participation, results
showed.
Fewer than half of children whose mothers had a
high-school equivalent education or less participated in
athletics (47%), compared to
nearly all the children whose
mothers held a graduate or
professional degree (96%).
Similar patterns were
found across all activity
types, with the exception
of religious activities: Kids
whose mothers were at the
opposite ends of the education spectrum participated
in religious activities at similar rates.
The study also examined
whether greater participation in extracurricular
activities led to gains in a
measure of vocabulary devel-
opment, but the results did
not find evidence of any such
gains.
That might be because
the sample size was not large
enough, or because of the
young age of participants,
the researchers said.
At kindergarten age,
kids language skills are still
developing, and they are just
starting these extracurricular activities, said study
co-author Tzu-Jung Lin,
associate professor of educational studies and a faculty associate of Ohio States
Crane Center for Early
Childhood Research and
Policy.
If we looked at these
same children for a few more
years, we could expect to see
the impact of extracurricular
activities on their language
development.
And it may be that extracurricular activities show a
stronger role in promoting
school readiness, social-emotional development or
other important factors not
examined in this study, the
researchers said.
There may be several
reasons why children from
homes with fewer resources participate less in afterschool sports or other
endeavors.
With kids in kindergarten, parents have to accompany them to their activities, Lin said. For many
working-class families, even
if they have the money to
afford these activities, they
cant take off work to be with
their kids at these events.
Because kindergarten
students from socioeconomically disadvantaged families
already start school behind
their peers academically,
they could use the boost from
taking part in sports, lessons
or other activities, according
to Black.
More participation in
extracurricular activities
could help close the gap
with their potentially higher-achieving peers, Black
said.
The key message, Allen
said, is that policymakers
and other leaders need to
address this participation
gap.
We need to help kids get
involved in extracurricular
activities at a young age, so
that those from lower socioeconomic backgrounds get
the same benefits and other
opportunities that other kids
already have, she said.
Other co-authors on the
study were Kelly Purtell,
associate professor of human
sciences and a faculty associate at the Crane Center, and
Laura Justice, professor of
educational studies and executive director of the Crane
Center.
The research was supported by a grant from
the Institute of Education
Sciences.

First of all, school districts are not required
to budget for any particular amount of spending, Trabert said. A lot
of district spending can
be moved from one fund
to another, so local school
boards can budget less in
Supplemental
General
and Capital Outlay funds
to reduce the property tax
needed in those funds.
The Garnett Budget at a
Glance report (available
online) for USD 365 shows
a beginning cash balance of
$2.3 million in the Capital
Outlay fund, but the district is only budgeting to
spend $1.1 million. That
means they dont need to
add the $792,000 in property
tax budgeted for the 2026
school year, Trabert said.
Budgeting to spend 22%
more than was actually
spent in prior years indicates that the Garnett district can certainly do a better job at budgeting, he
said.
For example, Trabert
said USD 329 Wabaunsee
has only averaged a 5%
variance above actual
expenditures over the last
five years.
USD 365 also has
more money in other cash
reserves than is necessary, Trabert said. The
beginning balance totals in
the table above, which dont
include cash reserves for
debt service, average more
than 30% of the coming
years actual spending. The
state average is less than
20%, and Wabaunsee only
averages 14% in reserves.
Twenty years ago, Trabert
said, the state average was
just 12% and dozens of districts had less than 10% in
cash reserves. Better budgeting and careful cash
management will allow
districts to reduce property taxes a common and
growing complaint among
Kansans he said.
Trabert said school
boards and superintendents
need better budget training

Board Resource Center

In 1991, the Marine
Corps established the

manage fundraising and
provide administrative

the program to expand

October 3 post on X (formerly Twitter).
But the search for what
work shes actually doing
is turning up a big goose
egg.
In
reality,
Davids
voted nay on the House
Continuing Resolution
HR 5371 on Sept. 19 which
would have funded the
continuation of the government in absence of an
actual approved annual
budget. The bill passed
217-212 and was sent to
the Senate to keep the
government bills paid for
another 60 days. But it died
there after Democrats in
the Senate rallied under
the leadership of Senate
Minority Leader Chuck
Schumer (D-New York)
in an attempt to add nearly $1.5 trillion to restore
Medicaid
provisions
trimmed from the House
version and President
Trumps previous Big,
Beautiful Bill including
government-paid Medicaid
benefits for illegal aliens.
A ChatGPT search of
Davids efforts on behalf
of ending the shutdown
only yielded press releases and press statements
aimed at leadership in the
House where the funding bill already passed
and attacking President
Trumps firing of some
federal workers. The AI
search engine located nothing from Davids addressing the actual stopping
point that occurred with
Democrats in the Senate.
Davids media specialist
Zac Donely did not provide
any evidence the congresswoman had attempted to
sway Democratic votes
in the Senate when asked
for copies of any such letters or documents by the
Review. There appear
to be no copies of letters
from Davids encouraging
Senators from her party
to change their votes and
reopen the government.
Its not the first time
Davids public statements
seem inconsistent with her
actual execution on the job.
In November 2023, Davids
helped Garnett and several
other Kansas towns with
grant paperwork for water
plant infrastructure funding, then voted against the
bill that would have actually provided the money
after she took issue with
Republican cuts to the EPA
that were added to the bill.
House Resolution 4821
contained nearly $4.8 million in funding for separate water treatment projects in Garnett, Olathe,
DeSoto, Edgerton and
Johnson County all projects within the Kansas
3rd District. The projects
were among various clean
water projects across the
country part of a massive
appropriations bill during
the Biden Administration
funding expenses budgeted in the Department
of the Interior, the
Environmental Protection
Agency and other associated departments.
The bill still passed and
was sent to the Senate but
without Davids support.

Special to The Anderson County Review Thursday, October 16, 2025
Bring colorful drama to fall gardening and outdoor decor
(BPT) – Fall is a time of bold color, cozy
gatherings and charming curb appeal.
With the right plants and creative touches, it's easy to transform your porch,
patio or garden for the season.
For 30 years, Wave has brought easycare blooms in eye-catching shades to
gardens across North America, from its
signature petunias to its beloved pansies.
Pansies continue to be a fall favorite,
offering long-lasting displays while also
doubling as a unique garnish for seasonal entertaining.
Porch to patio: Fall displays
Nothing says autumn like a porch
dressed in pumpkins, planters and colorful flowers. A container filled with
mums, kale, tall grasses and pansies is an
easy DIY project that instantly brings the
season to life.
Bold shades like yellows, purples
and oranges add festive energy to porch
dcor, and the brand-new Top Wave
Orange – the only trailing orange pansy
– spills beautifully from baskets, window
boxes and patio pots. For a softer, more
transitional feel, pink shades bridges the
seasons with blossoms that range from
light pink to blush and hot pink.
Choosing the right container makes
all the difference – a rustic barrel pairs
beautifully with brick exteriors, while
sleek galvanized metal complements
modern homes. Larger pots create more
impact and help plants hold moisture longer, while a collection of smaller planters
can add charm with variety. Complete
the arrangement with gourds, lanterns or
copper details for an inviting fall finish.
Layered style for lasting impact
Creating a show-stopping autumn display isn't just about the plants them-
selves, but how you combine them. Think
in terms of color, texture and flow to give
your space a designer's touch.
* Color harmony – Play with contrast,
like jewel tones against neutrals, or go
timeless with a burgundy-and-gold palette,.
* Texture – Mix smooth petals with foliage that adds shape and structure, from
leafy greens to trailing vines.
* Design flow – Extend your color and
texture choices from porch planters into
surrounding beds or borders so the whole
space feels connected.
These thoughtful design choices help
even the simplest containers look polished and on-trend for the season.
Blooms that brave the frost
Cooler weather doesn't mean the end
of garden color. Pansies are built for
the season – spreading quickly, filling
TAB 2×6
ACE Hardware
baskets and beds, and surviving reliably through frost. They'll last well into
winter and often return in early spring,
blooming alongside other seasonal bulbs.
A feast for the eyes – and the table
Beyond the garden, pansies can make
entertaining unforgettable. Their delicate petals are edible and add a colorful
flourish to seasonal menus. Toss a handful into a fresh salad for a surprising pop
of color, decorate cakes and cupcakes
with blooms that turn dessert into a centerpiece, or float them in cocktails for a
festive garnish.
The blue-and-cream blooms of pansies bring sophistication to sweet treats,
while the bold hues of orange add a playful Halloween accent to party platters
and drinks. Using flowers as garnishes
elevates everyday dishes, making fall
gatherings even more memorable.

Five simple ways to personalize your bathroom
(BPT) – Your bathroom doesn't have to
solely be a utilitarian space. With just
a few easy changes, you can turn your
no-frill bathroom into a relaxing space
with a personalized feel.
Don't know where to start? Check
out these five simple tips that can help
you enhance your existing aesthetic or
completely update the vibes of your bathroom.
1. Hang artwork that
reflects your taste
Hanging artwork in the bathroom is
the easiest way to quickly add personality. If you're looking to change the
room's theme from a minimalist blackand-white color scheme to a maximalist
tropical theme, find photos and prints
with plants and trees in bright greens,
reds and yellows.
Or, if you've been having a hard time
finding a spot to hang art you've either
purchased or been gifted by a friend,
these pieces may look right at home in
your bathroom!
Pro tip: Choose waterproof frames
that can protect your art from humidity.
2. Update hardware to
express your style
The hardware you choose sets the
tone and style of a bathroom. If you currently have cool silver drawer pulls, faucets, towel bars and other fixtures with
a polished finish, consider switching to
warm gold or bronze hardware with a
brushed finish.
Keep in mind that you can mix and
match colors, materials and finishes to
create a bathroom with hardware tailored to your taste. For example, if you
want to upgrade your faucet, check out
Kohler's Mix & Match Faucet options.
Three faucet collections provide you
with the freedom to choose the spout
style, handle and finish.
If you're looking to inject turn-ofthe-century charm into your bathroom,
choose the Artifacts collection. For a
high-fashion, effortless glamour of the
Golden Age of Hollywood, opt for the
Occasion line of faucet sets. Want to
lean into minimalism? Take a look at the
Components collection. Each line offers
faucet fixtures in several finishes and
colors, so you can find what suits your
style best.
3. Add a spa-like feel with plants
Turn your bathroom into a tranquil
retreat with bathroom-friendly plants.
Adding natural, organic elements like
plants can bring an otherwise sterile
room to life and can soften a bathroom's
hard, clean lines. There are many plants
you can choose from, but
it's best to choose ones
that thrive in humidity, like calatheas, monsteras, pothos, orchids
or ferns.
Once you've chosen your plants, look
for decorative planters
that match your aesthetic or the bathroom's
color scheme. If you're
short on space, consider hanging planters. No
matter what you choose,
the plants you care for
can make the bathroom
more inviting.
4. Control the ambiance
with lighting
Changing the lighting in your bathroom
allows you to effortlessly control the ambiance.
For example, dimmable
white light bulbs create a cozy atmosphere,
but still offer enough
illumination for groomTHE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW 10-16-2025 / BRANDPOINT CONTENT

Components and Occasion collections,
you're in luck. Each collection also offers

5. Add color and texture
with paint and wallpaper
Finally, a new coat of paint or wallpaper can do wonders for a bathroom. With
so many colors and patterns to choose
from, you can easily find the combination that suits your style.
Tired of the sterile white or beige of
your bathroom walls? Grab a can of baby
blue or sage green to create a serene
setting or use warm reds and pinks for a
homey ambiance.
If you want to add textures and patterns, look for wallpaper that reflects the

Keep your cool: Easy steps to clean your outdoor HVAC unit
To clean an outdoor HVAC unit, you
must first shut off the power completely,
then clear away surrounding debris, and
finally wash the coils with a garden hose.
For more thorough cleaning, you can
remove the units top cover to access the
interior coils.
What youll need
A garden hose with a spray nozzle: Do
not use a pressure washer, as the high
force can damage the delicate fins.
Fin comb (optional): To straighten
any bent fins.
Wet/dry vacuum (optional): To
remove large debris from inside the unit.
AC coil cleaner (optional): A foaming
cleaner for heavier dirt buildup.
Screwdriver: To remove the top of the
unit.
Gloves and safety goggles: For protection.
ty.
Step 1: Turn off the power
This is the most critical step for safe-
Go to your thermostat and set the
system to off.
Go to your outdoor condenser unit
and locate the exterior shut-off box,
which is usually on a wall near the unit.
Open the cover and pull the plug or flip
the switch inside.
For extra caution, flip the corresponding circuit breaker for the HVAC
system in your homes main electrical
panel.
Step 2: Clear the area around the unit
Trim back any shrubs, bushes, or
plants that are within two feet of the unit
to ensure proper airflow.
Clear away any visible leaves, grass
clippings, or other debris that have accumulated around the base and on top of
the unit.
Step 3: Clean the exterior fins
Use your garden hose with a gentle or
medium-pressure setting.
Spray the fins from the top down.
Direct the spray at a 45-degree angle to
help push debris out of the coils rather
than further in.
Walk around the entire unit, spraying each side until the water runs clear.
Step 4: Clean the interior (optional, for
a deeper clean)
Remove the cover. Using a screwdriver, unscrew and lift off the fan cage
from the top of the unit. Be careful not to
strain or pull on any wires.
Remove debris. By hand or with a
shop vacuum, remove any loose debris,
such as leaves, dirt, and pet hair, from
inside the unit.
Apply coil cleaner. If you have heavy
grime, spray a foaming coil cleaner onto
the interior coils. Follow the products
instructions for how long to let it sit.
Rinse the coils. Gently rinse the coils
with your garden hose from the inside
out, allowing water to carry dirt and
cleaner out of the unit. Avoid getting
water on any electrical components.
Step 5: Straighten the fins
If you notice any bent fins, you can
use a fin comb to carefully straighten
them. This improves airflow and the
units efficiency.
Step 6: Reassemble and restore power
Replace the fan cage and screw it
back into place.
Allow the unit to air-dry for at least
an hour before restoring power.
Restore power by flipping the circuit breaker and re-inserting the shut-off
plug.

What you need to know about home equity loans
(BPT) – If you have large or unexpected expenses on the horizon, you may
have access to an untapped resource:
your home. You could use some of the
equity you've built up in your house
to meet financial goals, depending on
how much equity you have and how
you use it.
Here's a guide from the experts at
Navy Federal Credit Union to explain
how home equity loans work and when
you should – or shouldn't – use your
home's equity.
What is a home equity loan?
In basic terms, a home equity loan
is money you're borrowing using your
home as collateral. The equity in your
home equals how much of your home's
value you actually own (not counting
the mortgage you're still paying off).
Home equity loans are frequently
offered at lower interest rates than
other loans, so they may be a great
option for consolidating debt on higher
interest credit cards, or large home
improvement projects.
You can determine how much equity
you have in your home, and how much
your home equity loan payments are
likely to be, using online calculators.
Here are the two most common types
of home equity loans:
Fixed-rate equity loan: This is a lump
sum amount you'll draw from your
home's equity, paying back monthly at
a fixed interest rate for the life of the
loan, so you'll know exactly what to
expect. Fixed-rate home equity loans
are typically used for:
* Home improvements/repairs
* Debt consolidation
* Large purchases
TAB 2×3
Valley View Elk
* Life events
Home equity line of credit (HELOC):
This is a line of credit secured by the
home, which lets you borrow funds if
and when needed, up to a set maximum
credit limit. You only have to repay the
funds you borrow. HELOCs are typically used for:
* Home improvements
* Emergency funds
* Medical expenses
* Debt consolidation
The best use of a home equity loan
or home equity line of credit is when
the money you borrow increases
your home's value via renovations or
repairs, as this continues building the
equity you're borrowing against. You
may also have tax benefits for using
the loan toward home improvements,
so it's recommended to consult a tax
professional.
When NOT to use a home
equity loan or HELOC
Because these loans use your home
as collateral, remember that you'll
want to be sure you can stay on track
with loan repayments. For this reason, financial experts advise against
using home equity to borrow for things
including:
A car purchase: An auto loan is usually a better choice for purchasing a
new or used vehicle. Interest rates on
auto loans tend to be similar or lower
than home equity loans, and auto loans
usually require little paperwork and
fewer fees.
Vacations: It's better to save up for
near-term wants like vacations or largescreen TVs than using your home's
equity for something offering no finan-
cial return.
College: Consider all options – including federal student loans, scholarships,
grants and private student loans
– before tapping into home equity. A
home equity loan may be a consideration if current mortgage rates are
significantly lower than federal student
loan rates, especially for graduate or
professional degrees. But unlike federal
student loans, if you use home equity
to pay for college, you won't qualify for
income-driven repayment plans or loan
forgiveness programs.

Starting a business: Your best bet for
launching a business is a business loan
through a financial institution or the
U.S. Small Business Administration
(SBA). If your business fails and you
have a home equity loan or HELOC you
can't repay, you're putting your home
on the line.
Recurring expenses: Using home
equity to cover everyday bills can be
a slippery slope. Consider your longterm ability to repay the loan. Since
your home is your collateral, missed
payments could lead to foreclosure.

How to select the right tankless electric water heater for any home
(BPT) – Tankless electric water heaters
are transforming the way households
experience hot water by offering energy-efficient, space-saving solutions that
deliver heated water on demand. These
compact units can be up to 98% smaller
than traditional storage water heaters.
They may be installed in tight spaces
or even mounted to a wall, freeing up
valuable space while reducing energy
consumption.
Selecting the right model requires
preparation and research. Homeowners
should consider key elements of their
home's design, including the number
of occupants, bathrooms and hot water
appliances – paired with overall water
usage – to ensure the correct tankless
electric water heater is installed.
Tip 1: Estimate household hot water
demand
A critical first step is properly
estimating the household's hot water
demand. A tankless electric water heater's flow rate, measured in gallons per
minute (GPM), determines its size.
Calculating how many hot water GPMs
the household typically uses is essential
and is done by adding up the flow rates
of fixtures, such as faucets and showers,
that run at the same time.
After determining the GPM required
to meet all the household's simultaneous needs, the homeowner can choose
the right size tankless electric water
heater. For example, if someone uses
the shower while two faucets are running, the home will need a tankless
electric water heater with at least a 5
GPM capacity.
See infographic for an overview of
product usage, sizing and geographic
zones.
Another important consideration
is the number of bathrooms and typical usage patterns of occupants. Larger
families or homes with multiple bathrooms may require a higher-capacity
unit, whereas smaller households can
often rely on a more compact solution.
For example, the Rheem RTEX and
EcoSmart models under the Rheem
family of brands cater to a wide range of
needs, from point-of-use (POU) units for
single fixtures, to whole-home options
designed to handle multiple fixtures
concurrently.
Tip 2: Factor in regional climate
Groundwater temperatures vary
across the country. In northern regions
of the U.S., which tend to be colder, the
ground water is also colder. This means
that a higher temperature rise (difference between the ground water tem-
perature and the desired output water
temperature) is required compared to
warmer southern areas.
For example, in southern areas
where the groundwater temperature is
62 F, to reach a desired output water
temperature of 105 F, the temperature
rise would be 43 F. Whereas, in northern regions, if the groundwater temperature is 40 F to reach 105 F, the temperature rise is much higher at 65 F.
The unit has to work harder to achieve
this temperature.
For this reason, certain models will
work well in southern climates, but a
similar household in a northern region
may need a larger tankless electric
water heater to achieve the degree rise
needed to meet household hot water
requirements.
Tip 3: Account for water temperature and flow rate
Water temperature and flow rate
are equally crucial when determining
the appropriate tankless electric water
heater size. Higher flow rates demand
more powerful models to maintain consistent hot water output. Some residences may be accommodated by one
whole-home unit, while others may
require multiple point-of-use systems.
Tip 4: Evaluate electrical capacity
The home's electrical capacity is
another essential consideration when
selecting a tankless electric water heater. For most homes, the average available amp service is either 100-, 200-,
or 300-amps. While a 200-amp service
panel typically suffices for average
households, new construction, larger
homes and high-demand systems may
require a higher 300-amp service panel.
Additionally, older homes with lower
amp service may require an electric
panel upgrade to meet the needs of a
tankless electric water heater.
Higher-capacity tankless electric
water heaters require more power, so
be sure to assess the capability of the
home's electric service panel to accommodate additional circuit breakers
before installation. Consult a licensed
electrician or contractor to evaluate the
home, circuit breaker size and wiring
gauge to ensure the service panel can
handle the load, prevent overloads and
ensure a safe, efficient operation.
There are many benefits to tankless
electric water heaters, including the
ease of installation. Tankless electric
models simplify installation by eliminating the need for venting, but sizing is
key. If the unit is undersized, it may not
fully meet demand during simultaneous
water use. An oversized unit can lead
to unnecessary energy consumption and
higher utility costs.
Follow these tips
and use a manufacturer's guide, such as
Rheem's online sizing
resource, to confidently select a tankless electric water
heater model, then
work with a professional to guarantee
a safe and efficient
installation for endless hot water and
energy-efficient oper- THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW 10-16-2025 / BRANDPOINT CONTENT

A whole home approach to energy efficiency
(BPT) – A spike in home energy bills
often leads consumers to suspect a
problem with their heating or cooling
equipment. However, before assuming
faulty equipment is the cause of high
energy bills, it's a good idea to consider
other potential culprits that can reduce
energy efficiency and lead to costlier
heating and cooling bills. Some areas
within a home can allow heated or
cooled air to escape before it enters
the desired room. The attic is a good
example of a space where undetected
issues can reduce comfort, adversely
affect air quality and decrease energy
efficiency.
Signs of thermal problems in the
attic may be visible from a home's exterior. During cooler seasons, heated air
escaping from a home's attic may pass
through the roof deck, melting snow or
frost. If nearby homes' roofs are covered in snow or frost while your home's
roof is bare, this may be a sign of attic
heat loss.
Installing a sufficient amount of
attic insulation is one way to reduce
energy loss. According to Energy Star,
homeowners can save up to 15% on
heating and cooling costs by air sealing their homes and adding insulation
in attics, floors over crawl spaces and
accessible basement rim joists.1
Insulate to avoid the
chimney effect
The proper level of insulation can
help defend against the chimney effect
(sometimes called stack effect). This
term describes the phenomenon of less
dense, warm air vertically flowing to
the highest part of a structure – often
the attic. Attic insulation functions
TAB 2×3
Valley View Elk
as a thermal barrier that helps keep
warm air inside the home from moving
into the attic and escaping to the outside. Conversely, in warmer weather,
attic insulation helps keep hot attic air
from infiltrating the cooled interior of
a home.
A proper thickness of insulation
installed in the attic can also help avoid
moisture buildup, which can lead to
mold growth and potential structural
issues. Attic insulation helps maintain
indoor temperatures, reduce energy
loss and support occupant comfort.
Are your attic ducts in order?
Other attic components can also
affect air throughout the home. When
ductwork is properly sized and in good
condition, airflow is balanced to support comfort and efficient air distribution. Ducts that are too small can
cause airflow resistance, resulting in
an uneven distribution of air, causing the heating and cooling equipment
to cycle more frequently and putting
more strain on equipment. Similarly,
ducts that are too large may result
in lower air pressure and poor temperature control throughout the home.
Even acoustics can be influenced by
ductwork, as properly sized ducts may
help reduce noise generated by air
flowing through the ducts.
While duct size matters, so does
the condition of ductwork. Holes and
loose connections in attic ductwork
can allow cooled or heated air to escape
before it reaches the register in the
desired room. Contaminants inside the
attic can enter these breaches and flow
into the rest of the home. An increase
in dust levels inside the home may be
a sign that attic ductwork needs attention.
Inspecting the attic with a
whole home approach
A home's energy efficiency relies
on a system that includes the heating
and cooling equipment, ductwork and
ancillary components like insulation.
Ensuring that all these components
are properly functioning can help contribute to occupant comfort, support
indoor air quality, promote energy
efficiency and contribute to the longevity of the home's comfort system.
An inspection of a home's attic – including measuring insulation levels and
assessing ductwork – should be included in HVAC service and maintenance
checks.

10 cost saving projects that boost value and comfort
Fall means crisp air, comfortable
temps, and the perfect time to prep your
home for the colder months ahead.
However, tariffs, inflation, and the
rising cost of materials can make renovations particularly pricey this time of
year.
Fortunately, there are still plenty of
projects you can tackle to boost your
homes comfort and valuewithout
breaking the bank.
Why now is the perfect time to tackle
fall home projects
The current economic climate has
made updating your home more expensive than ever before.
However, September is still the ideal
time for home maintenance, and there
are plenty of low-cost projects that can
protect your long-term investment and
help attract potential buyers if youre
looking to selland save you a great deal
of money overall.
Here are a few reasons you
should prioritize some of
these projects now:
Temperatures are more forgiving
The fall is more comfortable to work
in, but more importantly, it allows time
for paints, coatings, sealants, or minor
exterior repairs to cure without worry
of scorching in summer or freezing in
winter.
Adhesives and sealants also tend to
work better in moderate temps, which
can lead to better bonds and less callbacks when it turns cold, says Danny
Niemela, vice president and CFO at
ArDan Construction in Scottsdale, AZ.
You can prep your home for
the colder months
The fall is the ideal time to prepare your home for the upcoming cold
months.
Theres no better season to close
drafts, ensure your roof and gutters are
in prime shape for rain or snow, and tidy
up your lawn and garden before they go
dormant, explains Sain Rhodes, real
estate expert at Clever Offers in Seattle.
Projects run smoother when youre
not interrupting chaos
Lets face itfor most people, whenthe calendar flipped to September, that
signaled an end to summer. Trips are
over, houses settle down, school starts,
and noise levels decrease. That change
in energy is significant.
You have less foot traffic in your
home and fewer scheduling conflicts.
Remodels tend to go faster when homeowners are not trying to balance pool
days, vacations, and nonstop guests. No
joke, our average project timeline in the
fall is reduced by about 15% from a summer start, says Niemela.
You can build in a cushion before the
holidays arrive
This is a bigger deal than it sounds.
After all, nobody wants drywall dust
around the turkey.
When you focus on projects in
September, youll be less likely to stress
out in November as you try to get permits closed or painters out. For most
people, the fall months reflect that last
clean window of time before guests and
parties take over, explains Niemela.
10 home projects under $100
to boost comfort and
value this Fall
As you start to plan your fall home-improvement schedule, here are 10 cost-effective options to consider:
Dust and reverse ceiling fans
While its virtually free to dust and
reverse ceiling fans, most homeowners
dont do it.
When you reverse the blade direction, youll send warm air downheating rooms more effectively in the colder
months, says Rhodes.
Switch out light bulbs
"Replace those dingy yellow 2700K
bulbs with bright 4000K daylight bulbs.
Its about $3 per bulb, but the return
in kitchens or workspaces is huge,
explains Niemela.
Updated bulbs instantly make everything look cleaner, brighter, and newer.
Good lighting is an inexpensive way to
take any room to new heights.
Air seal your front doors
A weatherstrip kit for $18, a door
sweep for $25, and foam outlet gaskets for
$6 across 10 plates can calm cold drafts in
only two hours, says Niemela.
The change will be obvious from the
second the heater comes on.
Give your windows some TLC
Spray $30 worth of clear inside film
on a drafty window, run a $10 tube of
clear silicone at the outside trim gap,
and replace a $10 pair of squeaky crank
handles. Then, wash both sides of the
window with a $4 concentrate and two $6
squeegees.
This is not as intense or expensive
as a window replacement but could last
two heating seasons and save you thousands, explains Niemela.
Apply a fresh layers of mulch
Adding a fresh layer of season mulch
to garden beds for about $40 not only
makes your curb look better but also
shields your plants from frost, says
Rhodes.
This affordable trick can ensure your
plants are in good shape by the time
spring rolls around.
Clean your gutters
Removing leaves, pine needles, and
other debris from your gutters is a $0-to$50 project that pays dividends. It might
take two hours plus a ladder and a pair
of gloves, but keeping your gutters free
from clogs will keep water away from
your foundationspotentially saving
you thousands in damage.
Plus, clean gutters signal that a home
thats been well maintained, which is
more important to buyers than most
homeowners realize, explains Niemela.
Change out your air filters
Changing HVAC filters is not as sexy,
but its just as important. Filters costing
as little as $30 can mean the difference
between stale/dusty or clean flowing air
throughout your home.
If the air feels dirty, potential buyers
make a mental note to lower their price.
If its clean, well, the implication is your
home is well cared for, says Niemela.
Caulk around bathrooms and kitchens
This is another $50 task that can stop
leaks and water damage. It also makes
sinks and tubs appear cleaninstantly.
New caulk just screams sanitary
to most people, where broken or moldy
lines scream neglected or overhaul
needed, explains Niemela.
Pressure wash your driveways and
walkways
Driveways, walkways, patios, and siding can become dirty enough to make a
property look years older. Thats where
pressure washing comes in. A two-hour

How to understand your home energy use and cut costs
Rising energy bills can be frustrating, but understanding how your home
uses energy is the first step toward
cutting costs. By learning where and
how electricity, gas, and water are
consumed, you can make smarter
decisions that save both money and
resources.
Track Your Energy Usage
The first step in managing energy
costs is awareness. Start by reviewing
your utility bills to identify patterns
and trends. Look for seasonal spikes
or unusually high consumption compared with similar households. Many
utility companies now offer online
dashboards or apps that provide daily
or even hourly usage data. These tools
make it easy to see which appliances
or activities consume the most energy.
Consider using a home energy
monitor. Devices like smart plugs or
whole-home energy monitors track
electricity usage in real time and give
insight into which devices are driving
your bills. This information can help
you prioritize changes that offer the
biggest savings.
Identify Energy-Hungry
Appliances
Some of the biggest energy users
in your home are often the most overlooked. Heating and cooling systems,
water heaters, refrigerators, and older
appliances can account for a large portion of your monthly bills.
Simple maintenance can make a
difference:
HVAC systems: Replace air filters
regularly, clean ducts, and schedule
annual professional maintenance.
Water heaters: Lower the thermostat to 120F, insulate the tank, and
flush sediment annually to improve
efficiency.
Refrigerators and freezers: Keep
them full but not overcrowded, defrost
when needed, and ensure seals are
tight.
Upgrading to energy-efficient appliances, particularly those with the
ENERGY STAR label, can result in
long-term savings. While upfront costs
may be higher, energy-efficient models
typically pay for themselves over time
through lower utility bills.
Adopt Smart Habits
Energy savings arent just about
appliancestheyre also about daily
behavior. Small changes can add up
quickly:
Turn off lights, computers, and TVs
when not in use.
Use power strips to prevent phantom energy drain from devices on
standby.
Adjust thermostat settings when
away from home. Even a few degrees
difference can reduce heating and
cooling costs significantly.
Wash clothes in cold water and linedry when possible.
Seal drafts around windows and
doors, and use weather stripping to
prevent heat loss.
These habits may seem minor individually, but collectively they can lead
to noticeable reductions in your energy bills.
Make Energy-Efficient Upgrades
Investing in energy-efficient solutions can reduce consumption longterm and increase home comfort:
LED lighting: Consumes up to 80%
less energy than incandescent bulbs
and lasts longer.
Smart thermostats: Automatically
adjust heating and cooling based on
occupancy and time of day.
High-efficiency appliances: Modern
washers, dryers, refrigerators, and
dishwashers use far less energy than
older models.
Insulation and windows: Properly
insulated walls and energy-efficient
windows maintain indoor temperature, reducing the need for heating or
cooling.
Additionally, consider ceiling fans
to improve airflow and make rooms
feel warmer in winter and cooler in
summer without relying solely on
your HVAC system.
Explore Renewable Energy
Options
Renewable energy solutions can further reduce your reliance on traditional energy sources:
Solar panels: Reduce electricity
costs and may qualify for tax incentives.
Solar water heaters: Can provide a
significant portion of your hot water
needs using free sunlight.
Small-scale
solutions:
Solarpowered outdoor lights or timers can
cut energy use without a major investment.
Even partial adoption of renewable
solutions can make a meaningful dif-
ference over time.
Monitor, Adjust, and Improve
Energy use isnt staticit changes
with seasons, household size, and lifestyle. Regularly reviewing your bills
and monitoring usage can help you
spot trends and identify new opportunities to save. Keep track of changes
you make, from behavior adjustments
to appliance upgrades, so you can see
which strategies are most effective.
Consider Professional Energy
Audits
For a thorough understanding of
your homes energy use, a professional energy audit can be invaluable.
Auditors use specialized tools to detect
leaks, inefficient systems, and hidden
energy drains. They can also provide
a prioritized list of improvements tailored to your home, helping you make
cost-effective decisions.
Bottom Line:
Understanding your home energy
use goes beyond simply reading your
bills. Its about awareness, behavior,
and strategic upgrades. By tracking
usage, improving habits, investing
in energy-efficient appliances, and
exploring renewable options, you can
lower your bills, reduce your environmental impact, and make your
home more comfortable year-round.
Consistent monitoring and adjustments ensure that your efforts continue to pay off for years to come.

Low-cost home improvement upgrades for your home
by This Old House
Whether youre preparing to sell
your home or just looking to freshen
things up, there are plenty of affordable
home upgrades that make a big impact.
Here are our favorite budget-friendly home improvements, from quick,
do-it-yourself (DIY) projects to small
investments that yield high returns.
Revitalize Your Walls and
Floors on a Budget
Updating your walls and floors is one
of the best ways to transform your living space. These surfaces cover a large
area of your home, so even small changes can make a big difference. Here are
three affordable ways to update your
walls and floors.
Give Your Walls a Fresh
Coat of Paint
One of the most cost-effective ways to
update your home is by painting. A new
color can completely change the look
and feel of a room, making it feel cleaner, brighter, and more modern. Its a
DIY project you can tackle over a weekend without any labor costs. Choose
a neutral color for a broad appeal if
youre planning to sell, or go bold with
an accent wall if that better expresses
your personal style.
Renew Old Flooring with Paint
If replacing your flooring isnt in
the budget, consider painting it. This
works particularly well on wood floors
but can also be applied to concrete. For
a unique look, paint a light-checked
pattern in beige and white to update the
space without the cost of refinishing or
replacing the flooring.
Install Crown Molding and
Update Trim
Adding crown molding or updating
your trim adds character to your home.
While wood is a popular choice, there
are more affordable options like polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or foam that are
easier to install and better able to resist
moisture. For areas humidity-prone
areas, like bathrooms, PVC crown
molding is a good choice. Remember
to paint the molding before installation
for a smoother finish.
Upgrade Your Kitchen on a
Dime
The kitchen is often considered the
heart of the home, and upgrading it
doesnt have to cost a fortune. Here are
three budget-friendly ways to give your
kitchen a fresh look:
Update Cabinets Without
Replacing Them
New cabinets can be expensive, but
you can achieve a fresh look without
replacing them entirely. One of the
simplest and most affordable updates
is to change the cabinet hardware. New
knobs and pulls can modernize the
entire kitchen. You can paint your cabinets if they need more of an overhaul.
Give Kitchen Cabinets a
Flawless New Finish
If your kitchen feels dreary due to
dark cabinets, a fresh coat of paint
can transform it. As long as the cabinet frames and doors are structurally
sound, you can convert them with some
elbow grease and paint. Start by thoroughly cleaning the cabinets, then sand
them lightly before applying paint.
Choose a light color to brighten up the
space and make it feel larger.
Install a Water Filter for
Affordable Clean Water
Many households
have switched to bottled water due to concerns about tap water
quality. However, an
under-sink water filtration system is a more
cost-effective and environmentally friendly

change can make your bathroom feel
more cohesive and up-to-date. Consider
switching from chrome to brushed
nickel or matte black for a more contemporary look.
Prevent Mold With a
Bathroom Vent Fan
Installing a ventilation fan in your
bathroom does more than eliminate
foggy mirrors and odors. It also helps
prevent moisture-related problems like
mold and mildew growth, which can be
costly to remove and potentially harmful to your health. A good vent fan will
keep your bathroom dry and fresh, protecting your home long-term. While we
recommend professional installation,
this upgrade is still relatively affordable and can significantly improve
your bathrooms functionality.
Refresh Your Bathroom Caulk
Over time, the caulk around your
tub, shower, and sink can become discolored or start to peel, allowing water
to seep behind tiles or under fixtures.
Removing old caulk and applying a
fresh bead is an easy and inexpensive way to spruce up your bathroom
and prevent water damage. Choose a
high-quality, mold-resistant caulk for
best results. This simple task can make
your bathroom look cleaner and wellkept, which is especially important if
you plan to sell.
Boost Your Homes Lighting
and Comfort
Good lighting and temperature control can make a huge difference in your
homes comfort and energy efficiency.
Upgrade Interior and
Exterior Lighting
Updating your homes lighting can
drastically improve its ambiance and
functionality. Start by replacing old
bulbs with energy-efficient LED lights.
These not only use less energy but also
provide better illumination. Installing
well-placed outdoor lights can elevate
safety and curb appeal. For energy savings, look into solar-powered options
for outdoor lighting.
Install Ceiling Fans for
Year-Round Savings
Ceiling fans are a great investment
for summer and winter. In warm
months, they create cooling breezes
that reduce the strain on air conditioners. In winter, they can be reversed
to circulate warm air and keep rooms
cozy. Installing a ceiling fan is a pretty
simple DIY project, especially if youre
replacing an existing light fixture. The
energy savings from reduced HVAC
usage can quickly offset the fan cost
Make Shade and Add Privacy with
Interior Shutters
Interior shutters are a stylish alternative to curtains or blinds. They create excellent light control and privacy
while adding an architectural design
element to your windows. Shutters
are particularly effective at keeping
out winter drafts and summer heat,
potentially lowering your energy bills.
While custom shutters can be pricey,
there are more affordable, ready-made
options available that you can install
yourself.
Elevate Your Homes Curb
Appeal On a Budget
First impressions matter, so here
are three ways to enhance your homes
exterior on a budget.
Improve Landscaping
A well-maintained landscape is one
of the best ways to boost curb appeal.
Start with simple things, like pruning
overgrown shrubs, adding fresh mulch
to garden beds, and planting colorful
flowers near the entrance. Consider
installing low-cost landscape lighting
to highlight your homes best features
at night. For a cohesive look, make
sure your lawn is well-manicured and
consider adding a few potted plants to
your porch or entryway.
Refinish Your Homes Wood Door
Your front door is one of the first things
people notice about your home. If you
have a wood door thats seen better
days, refinishing it can turn it into
a focal point. Start by removing old
varnish or paint, then sand the surface
smooth. Apply a fresh coat of stain or
paint, and finish with a protective clear
coat. This project can typically be completed in a weekend and will give your
homes entrance a fresh, welcoming
look.
Get More Flowers Without
Spending Any Money
Dividing perennials is an excellent
way to multiply your gardens beauty
without spending a dime. Many popular
perennials, like daylilies, can be divided every few years. This not only gives
you more plants but also helps control
their size and reinvigorate growth. The
best time to divide most perennials is
in late summer or early fall. This simple gardening technique can help you
create a lush, colorful landscape on a
budget.
Maximize Storage and
Functionality Without Breaking
the Bank
Efficient storage and functional spaces make any home more comfortable,
and you dont need major renovations
to achieve them.
Create Custom Storage Areas
Adding storage doesnt have to mean
a major construction project. Look for
underutilized spaces in your home,
such as below the stairs or in awkward
corners, and consider how you can turn
them into usable storage areas. This
could be as simple as adding shelves
or as complex as building custom cabinets. For example, a window seat with
built-in storage can provide both a
comfy place to read and an area to store
seasonal items.
Install Built-In Bookshelves
Built-in bookshelves add both storage
and character to a room. Theyre particularly effective around a fireplace or
in a home office. While custom builtins can be expensive, there are more
affordable DIY options. Consider using
premade bookcases and adding trim to
give them a built-in look. This project
can increase your storage space and
add value to your home.
Lay Low-Cost Flooring in
Laundries and Mudrooms
Utility spaces like laundry rooms and
mudrooms often get overlooked, but
updating their flooring can make these
areas more useful and stylish. Vinyl
tiles are an affordable and durable
option thats easy to install yourself.
They come in a variety of colors and
patterns, allowing you to create a custom look.

How to winterize your home: Top 10 tips
Written By Leah Leitow
As the temperature drops and winter
approaches, its time to prepare your
home for the chilly months ahead.
Winterizing isnt about staying
warmits about protecting your home
from the elements and saving money on
energy bills.
With our helpful checklist, you can
easily tick off these winterization tasks.
Here are the top 10 ways to prepare your
home for winter while keeping it manageable!
Top 10 Checklist to
Winterize Your Home
1. Seal Up the Drafts
Drafty windows and doors can let in
cold air, making your home feel like a
fridge. Use weatherstripping, caulk, or
draft stoppers to seal up gaps around
windows, doors, and any other openings.
Tip: Light a candle and hold it near
doors and windows. If the flame flickers,
youve got a draft!
2. Insulate Your Pipes
Burst pipes can be a winter nightmare, so insulate any exposed pipes in
your basement, crawl space, or attic.
This will help prevent freezing and costly repairs.
Pro Tip: Foam pipe sleeves are a quick
and inexpensive solution that anyone
can install.
3. Insulate and Encapsulate Your
Crawl Space
Winter is the perfect time to ensure
that your crawl space is well-prepared
for the colder months. Adding thermal
insulation and encapsulation can help
keep your home warmer, reduce energy
costs, and prevent pipes from freezing.
Cost Saver: Sealing out drafts and insulating the area can save up to 30% on
energy costs.
4. Clean Out the Gutters
Fallen leaves can clog gutters, leading
to ice dams and potential leaks. If you
feel comfortable, grab a ladder and clear
out any debris to ensure water flows freely. Consider contacting a professional for
this task.
Remember: This one can get messy, so
grab some gloves and maybe even some
tunes to make it enjoyable.
5. Check the Furnace and
Replace Filters
You dont want to be stuck with a
broken furnace when its below freezing.
Schedule a professional inspection and
replace the furnace filters to keep your
system running efficiently.
Fun Fact: Regularly replacing your
furnace filter can improve air quality
and save you money on energy bills!
6. Test Smoke and Carbon
Monoxide Detectors
Winter is a peak season for house fires
and carbon monoxide poisoning, especially with heaters running. Test your
detectors to ensure theyre functioning
correctly.
Safety First: Keep extra batteries on
hand, just in case.
7. Prepare Your Outdoor
Faucets and Hoses
Disconnect and drain garden hoses,
then shut off the valves to outdoor faucets. Insulating faucet covers can protect
against freezing temperatures.
Winterization Tip: If you have a sprinkler system, its a good idea to winterize

Top 10 tips for effective pest rodent control at home
By AmericanSPCC.org
Rodents in the home can cause significant damage and pose health risks.
From chewing wires to spreading diseases, these tiny invaders can be a major
nuisance. Thankfully, with the right
approach, you can effectively prevent
and control rodents at home. In this
article, well cover 10 essential tips for
keeping your home rodent-free. Read on
to learn how to protect your space from
these pesky intruders.
Why Rodent Control is Essential
Rodent infestations can escalate
quickly. Mice and rats can reproduce
rapidly, and before you know it, what
started as a minor problem can turn
into a full-blown infestation. Beyond the
obvious damage to property, rodents
can spread harmful diseases like leptospirosis, salmonella, and hantavirus.
Effective pest control is crucial to protect
both your health and your home.
Common Rodent Species in Homes
In most homes, the primary culprits
are house mice, Norway rats, and roof
rats. Each of these species has unique
behaviors, but they all share a common traittheyre persistent! Knowing
which species youre dealing with can
help tailor your rodent control methods.
Mice tend to nest in hidden corners,
while rats prefer burrowing outside but
will enter homes for food.
Tip 1: Seal Entry Points
Inspecting and Sealing Gaps and
Cracks
The first step in any rodent control
plan is sealing up entry points. Rodents
can squeeze through incredibly small
gaps, so thorough inspection is key.
TAB 2×3
GSSB
Check for holes in walls, gaps around
windows, and cracks in doors. A simple
fix like using caulk or steel wool can
make a huge difference. Elite Pest and
Termite Control can help identify and
seal any hard-to-find entry points, ensuring that your home remains rodent-free.
Tip 2: Keep Your Home Clean
Eliminating Food and Water Sources
Cleanliness is your best weapon
against rodents. Rodents are opportunistic feeders, and if they find food or
water sources in your home, theyll stick
around. Make sure to store food in airtight containers, wipe up spills immediately, and clean under appliances regularly. Dont forget to empty trash bins
frequently and keep them covered.
Importance of Proper Waste
Management
Keeping garbage outside and away
from your home reduces the chances of
attracting rodents. A well-maintained
garbage area prevents easy access to
food scraps and keeps rodents from making your home their own personal buffet.
Tip 3: Use Rodent Traps
Different Types of Rodent Traps
Traps are an effective, humane way to
catch rodents. Snap traps, glue traps,
and live traps each have their pros and
cons. Snap traps kill rodents instantly,
while live traps allow you to release
them elsewhere. Choose the right trap
for your situation and make sure its
placed in areas where youve noticed
rodent activity, like near walls or in dark
corners.
Placing Traps in the Right Locations
Place traps along walls or in areas with
droppings or gnaw marks. Rodents tend

Colony (620) 852-3512
to run along edges, so placing traps in
these locations increases your chances
of success. Remember to check traps
frequently to avoid leaving dead rodents
around the house.
Tip 4: Use Rodent Repellents
Natural vs. Chemical Repellents
Repellents can be a good preventive
measure. According to the experts at
Wholesale Botanics, natural repellents
like peppermint oil, vinegar, and cloves
are popular, as rodents dislike strong
smells. Chemical repellents, on the other
hand, tend to have stronger odors and
can be more effective, but they should be
used with caution in homes with pets or
small children.
Choosing the Best Repellen
t for Your Home
Depending on your preferences and
needs, you can choose between natural
and chemical options. Consider using a
combination of both for long-term protection. Natural options are safer for
homes with children and pets, but chemical repellents can be more potent for
severe infestations.
Tip 5: Keep the Outdoors Clean
Managing Yard Waste and Debris
Rodents dont just come from inside
your housethey can also be attracted
from the outdoors. Piles of leaves, wood,
or even a cluttered yard can serve as
perfect nesting sites. By keeping your
yard clean and free of debris, you reduce
potential homes for rodents and make
your property less inviting. If youre
storing tools or supplies outdoors, consider using shed kits to keep everything
securely enclosed and protected from
rodents.
Importance of Maintaining a WellMowed Lawn
A well-maintained lawn is not only
visually appealing but also less inviting to rodents. Long grass provides perfect hiding spots for rodents, so keep it
trimmed and neat. This simple step can
go a long way in reducing rodent activity
around your home.
Tip 6: Professional Pest Control Services
When to Call in the Experts
If youre facing a severe infestation
or struggling to control rodents despite
your efforts, it might be time to call
in the professionals. Elite pest and termite control can offer expert advice and
more advanced solutions. Pest control
experts have access to specialized tools
and knowledge that can effectively eliminate rodents from your home. They
can also advise on long-term prevention
strategies.
Tip 7: Rodent-Proof Your Garden
Barrier Methods for Preventing
Rodents in Your Garden
Gardens are often a prime target for
rodents looking for food. By installing
barriers like fences, wire mesh, or netting around your garden, you can discourage rodents from entering. These
physical barriers are an effective and
sustainable way to protect your plants
and vegetables.
Tip 8: Use Baits and Poison Wisely
Safety Considerations When Using
Rodent Poison
Rodent baits and poison can be an
effective tool for controlling infestations,
but they must be used with care. Poison
can pose a risk to pets and children, so

Fall lawn care: Essential
tips to protect your yard
By Thomas Baker
As temperatures cool and leaves fall,
nows the time to prepare your lawn
for winter. A little effort in autumn can
mean a lush, green yard come spring.
Why Fall Care Matters
Fall maintenance strengthens root
systems, improves disease resistance,
and helps grass store nutrients for the
months ahead.
Clear Leaves and Debris
Leaves can block sunlight and trap
moisture, suffocating grass. Rake or use
a blower weekly during peak leaf fall, or
mulch leaves with your mower to return
nutrients to the soil.
Keep Mowing
Continue mowing until the first frost,
keeping grass about 2.53 inches tall.
This length protects roots and prevents
matting under snow.
Water Wisely
Grass still needs about 1 inch of water
per week in fall. Water deeply but less
often, and continue until the ground
freezes.
Aerate and Overseed
Aeration relieves soil compaction and
boosts root health. Its also the best time
to overseed thin or bare areasseed
after aerating for better soil contact.
Keep the soil moist until seeds germinate.
Fertilize for Strength
Apply a slow-release fertilizer (such as
24-0-10) in mid to late fall to build strong
roots and improve cold resistance. Water
afterward to help nutrients absorb.

It adds curb appeal for a fraction

Itll cost you $50 to $100 for a pressure washer rental, if you dont have
one.
Replace cabinet knobs and drawer
pulls
Even switching out cabinet knobs
or drawer pulls for around $3 to $5
each, can give your kitchen or bathrooms a fresh look without the significant expense of an overhaul, says
Rhodes.
If you have plans to sell, rest
assured buyers will notice and appreciate these types of small updates.

THEBIGGREENK.COM
Fall lawn care is important for a better
lawn come Springtime.
Control Weeds
Apply a broadleaf herbicide to tackle dandelions and clover, or hand-pull
weeds for an ecofriendly approach.
Avoid treating newly seeded areas.
Prepare Equipment
Clean and sharpen mower blades,
drain hoses, and store tools in a dry
place. Winterizing now prevents spring
repairs.
Common Fall Problems
Watch for fungal diseases like snow
moldavoid overwatering and keep
grass at the right height. Check for grubs
or other pests and treat as needed.
Quick Schedule
