New pool? Amphitheater?
What will a sales tax hike
buy, and why will it cost
poor shoppers more?
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT Voters in Garnett will
soon decide whether to approve
a one-cent city sales tax aimed at
funding a sweeping set of improvements to the citys parks, swimming pool, and recreational facilities an estimated 15-year long
project period, depending on if
commissioners ever plan an end
to the tax.
The proposal, detailed in a city
report, would generate an estimated $600,000 annually to repair and
upgrade the Lake Garnett complex,
including the city swimming pool,
ballfields, campgrounds, a performance amphitheater and other
community amenities. City leaders
say the plan represents the fairest
way to pay for the projects, spreading the cost across residents, visitors, and travelers who shop in
town, rather than raising property
taxes.
This one-cent sales tax on consumer goods and services would
lessen the burden on citizens
at large and avoid property tax
increases, a fact sheet produced
by the city and posted to its website
said.
The downside of a sales tax
increase is its nature as a regres-
sive tax a flat percentage tax
that takes a larger percentage of
poorer peoples income than that of
more wealthy people, since retail
purchases make up a higher percentage of a household budget the
less that household earns. Federal
income statistics say about 12.8
percent of the countys population lives in poverty. The Living
Wage Calulator developed in part
by the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology estimates poverty
wages in the county (hourly wage
required to meet the federal poverty threshold of $15,060 per year for
a single person) at $7.52 per hour.
The living wage,
or the amount needed to meet basic
needs plus some savings for the county
is $19.65 per hour.
The other issue
with sales tax is
that it makes higher
ticket items within the jurisdiction
more
expensive;
items like vehicles,
furniture and more
expensive equipment becomes less
competitive if buyers compare
lower sales taxes and other communities.
What to do about the pool
At the heart of the proposal is the
aging municipal pool, which city
(785) 448-3111
documents describe as increasingly unsafe due to crumbling walls,
rusting diving board bases, and a
deteriorating bathhouse. The pool
has undergone major renovations
twice before in 1978 and 2002
but city leaders say the facilities
are again overdue for extensive
work. The pool has been much
the topic of discussion for a number of years, particularly after a
city staffer was slightly injured in
an explosion amid the structures
plumbing several years ago.
Recent cost estimates put a full
package of pool and bathhouse
improvements at over $2.3 million,
including new plumbing, filtration
systems, decking, ADA-compliant
bathhouse upgrades, and zerodepth entry features.
Ballfields, Soccer
Pitches, and More
Beyond the pool, the plan would
also tackle much-needed repairs
at Optimist Field, Legion Field,
the Top Field, and the citys soccer grounds. Reports note warped
fencing, unsafe turf, and drainage
issues that pose hazards to players.

THE ANDERSON
GARNETT Some rural
landowners in Anderson
County are plagued with
a piece of history theyd
just as soon not have
a dilapidated old home
or other structure that
is a lot harder to get rid
of than what might seem
the easiest alternative.
Anderson
County
rural fire coordinator
Cruz Gillespie described
the problem Monday
morning to county commissioners, telling them
he had confronted a rural
property owner about a
dilapidated house that
had mysteriously caught
on fire and burned to
the ground recently.
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW 10-2-2025 / DANE HICKS
Once stately but now abandoned farm houses like this
one on SE Ohio Road dot Anderson Countys rural
areas, but tight restrictions and high demolition costs
keep owners from erasing them with a match.
Gillespie told county
leaders word had gotten
back to him that the fire
was intentionally set.
Even though such
a structure might be
on ones own proper-
ty, Gillespie said there
are strict regulations
enforced by the Kansas
Department of Health
and
Environment
against simply torching

ANDERSON COUNTY
COMMISSION
SEPTEMBER 22, 2025
Chairman Leslie McGhee
called the meeting of the
Anderson County Commission to
order at 9:00 AM on September
22, 2025 at the Anderson County
Commission Room. Attendance:
Leslie McGhee, Present: Michael
Blaufuss, Present: Anthony
Mersman, Present. The Pledge of
Allegiance was recited. Minutes
from the previous meeting were
approved as amended.
Muncy
Jarod Muncy, Garnett, met with
the commission. He requested
his sick leave be paid out to him
upon his resignation. Due to the
circumstances of his departure
from the county, the policy does
not allow for the payout. The
Commissioners informed him of
the policy.
Road & Bridge
Ethan Lickteig, Road & Bridge
Supervisor, met with the commission. Discussion was held
on employees obtaining CDLs
in the future. The cost of the
CDL is roughly $5,000. The
Commissioners would like Ethan
to look into doing an in-house program for his employees who need
to obtain a CDL for their position.
Discussion was held on county
roads and concerns from the citizens. Ethan gave an update on
equipment repairs.
Coroner/Transport
Don Nungesser, Coroner, and
Reuben Feuerborn, funeral home,
met with the commission. The
Commissioners wanted to understand the stipulations on which
cases go to autopsy and when
the county pays for them. Don
explained that there are many
factors involved and it depends
on the manner of death. If there
is an active investigation, the law
enforcement decides whether an
autopsy is completed. The bodies
are sent Frontier Forensics in
Kansas City which is the closest facility and privately owned.
Reuben mentioned Johnson
County does CT scans on bodies
to determine a cause of death
before an autopsy needs to be
performed. The Commissioners
would like Don to reach out to
Johnson County again to see
if they are taking out of county
bodies for scans.
Sheriff
Wes
McClain,
Sheriff;
Alex Cochrane, Undersheriff;
and Chelsea DAlbini, 911
Communications Director, met
with the commission. James
Campbell, County Counselor,
gave his input on whether to
move the two positions to salary or to keep hourly. He said
it loses the accountability and
does not allow the employee to
be paid their total hours worked.
The Commissioners approved
to move the positions to salaried with the stipulation of moving back to hourly at any time.
Commissioner Blaufuss moved
and Commissioner Mersman
seconded to change 911
Communications Director and Jail
Administrator positions to salary
effective September 20, 2025. All
voted yes. The current employees in those positions will keep
the same rate of pay but paid
out at a salaried rate and receive
raises according to the pay plan.
Enterprise
Ken Olson, Enterprise, met
with the commission. He gave
a presentation regarding a leasing county vehicle program with
Enterprise. Enterprise will purchase vehicles for the county at
discounted rates then sell them
when the county decides to
replace the inventory. To enter the
program, the county would need
at least 20 vehicles and more
than 2 departments to participate.
The Commissioners will discuss
the program at a later date and
revisit with Ken.
Adjourn
Meeting adjourned at 12:00
PM due to no further business.

Ivan Ike Mader, age 87,
of Garnett, Kansas, passed
away on Wednesday,
September
24,
2025, at Parkview
Heights in Garnett.
Ivan Frederick
Mader was born in
Garnett, Kansas,
on December 28,
1937. Ike was the
second of four
children born to
Walt and Dorothy
(Brummel) Mader.
In early 1941, he moved
with his family to Long
Beach, California, then to
Portland, Oregon. During
this time, his Uncle Ernie
ran a tavern in Portland
that was quite the hopping place. His uncles,
Luke and Frank and his
father purchased a parts
and welding shop. When
the war ended and the
shipyards shut down, his
family learned of a secret
project that became the
Hanford Nuclear Facility.
When his father secured a
job there, the family moved
to Richland, Washington.
Ike fondly remembered
this time, especially living
in a bus, as the area was
ideal for an outdoor kid. He
and his friends spent hours
floating in irrigation ditches, where the rides were
always better right after the
water flow was opened. He
also recalled one adventure
floating down the Columbia
River on a 24 with his
brother, Jim, and a neighbor boy-an event for which
his mother surely deserved
sainthood. He even raised
about 100 fantail pigeons in
the bathhouse. Ike later visited the Hanford Facility in
2011 as a tourist.
Ike moved back to
Garnett in 1950. He attended
grade school at St. Peters
Catholic School in Portland
and finished at Holy Angels
in Garnett. He fondly
recalled days when he and
his brother Jim would jump
on the train, ride a short
way, and then jump off to
walk the rest of the way to
school. He graduated from
Garnett High School with
the Class of 1955. Ike was
always making something,
a mechanical skill he maintained throughout his life.
He cherished the stilts he
made, though one trip on
them resulted in a broken
arm with a protruding bone
fracture, earning him a
week-long stint in the hospital.
He joined the 101st

Mary Alice Fagg, age
92, formerly of Garnett,
passed away on
Thursday, September
25, 2025, at Fort Scott
Presbyterian Village
in Fort Scott, Kansas.
Mary Alice Cash
was born on July
30, 1933, the daughter of Cecil and May
(Augur) Cash. Mary
was the second child
of their children.
Mary was born on a farm
near the Bourbon and Linn
county line. Later they
moved to the Farlinville
area with her great grandmother on her farm. She
attended a one room school
in Linnville for eight years,
then Mound City High
School.
Mary was married to
Harold Lee Roberts on July
16, 1950, and four children
were born to this union,
Patricia Ballard, Nickie J.
Roberts, Andrew Roberts,
and Laura Lea Lewis. They
lived in Claflin, Kansas,
Garnett, Kansas, and
Kokomo, Indiana, then to
a farm east of Centerville,
Kansas, and back to
Garnett, Kansas in 1967.
They divorced in December
of 1971.
On February 14, 1977,
Valentines Day, Mary
married Jerrold Don Fagg,
and moved to his farm. She
helped him raise his two
boys, William Scott and
Maurice Dale. She continued working at Regal
Aluminum and then helped
him with his business,
Jerrys TV. They sold the
business in January of
1984 after Jerry suffered a
major heart attack. Later,
Jerry had to take disability
and Mary worked through
the State for 12 years,
then retiring. Jerry suffered from strokes and
heart attacks, and ended up
spending 10 months in the
nursing home. He died on
April 5, 2008 at the hospital.
They enjoyed camping
and music festivals, and
many music things at the
farm. Mary was an active
3
good friend, Ron Sobba.
They served for two years
and reentered civilian life
in September 1960.
He was united
in marriage to
Marcia French on
November 3, 1973.
This union was
blessed with four
children, Jennifer,
Emily, Meghann
Mader and Gabriel. Ike
was a faithful
member of Holy
Angels Catholic Church.
One of Ikes favorite words
was Amen. In his final
years, when dementia had
taken many of Ikes memories he could still recite
every word of the Mass.
He was preceded in death
by his parents, Walt and
Dorothy Mader; his brother, James; and his infant
sister, Marilyn.
He is survived by his
wife, Marcia Mader, of
the home; his children:
Jenni Dean and husband
Doug of Shawnee, Kansas,
Emily Ballou and husband
Terry of Fontana, Kansas,
Meghann Bohle and husband Greg of St. James,
New York, and Gabe Mader
and wife Jessi of Olathe,
Kansas. Ike was a cherished grandpa to eleven
grandchildren: Ellie Dean,
Sam Dean, Trevor Ballou,
Madison Ballou, Rayelle
Ballou, Scout Ballou,
Landen Bohle, Brady
Bohle, Scarlett Bohle,
Norah Mader, and Declan
Mader; sister, Judy Mader
of Garnett, Kansas; and
sister in law, Dixie Mader
of Collinsville, Oklahoma;
along with numerous other
family and friends.
The family of Ike would
like to extend their deepest gratitude to the staff at
Parkview Heights as well
as St. Lukes Hospice, especially Tiffany, Tabitha, and
Sue, for their care and compassion.

Jesus has a place for
those he calls home
In John 14:1-4 Jesus is
comforting his disciples
concerning his leaving
them. He says; In my
Fathers house are many
rooms; if it were not so,
I would have told you. I
am going there to prepare
a place for you. And if I go
and prepare a place for you,
I will come back and take
you to be with me, that you
may also be where I am. I
believe what Jesus is telling them is far beyond their
comprehension and ours as
well some 2000 years later.
Jesus is speaking to them
concerning the future. He
says, I am going to prepare a place for you. We
are called to make disciples
here on earth in the Great
Commission (Mat 28:18-20)
it is these disciples Jesus is
referring to the church of
Jesus Christ.
Sometimes we cant
understand the untimely death of an individual.
They may have been highly
invested in the work of the
kingdom fulfilling Jesus
commands. Jesus tells the
disciples, I will come back
and take you to be with me
that you may be where I
am. I believe this, our loss
is Gods gain. Sometimes
God takes for himself those
people who seem to be the
best and needed the most
here on earth. When God
calls someone home he
never makes a mistake he
has a place for that person.
WEEKLY DEVOTIONAL
BY DAVID BILDERBACK
Jesus has two natures, a
human nature and a divine
nature. There is no mixture
or confusion within these
two natures which work
perfectly together. He can
mourn with us based on his
human nature and yet by
his divine nature sees the
end from the beginning. In
Jeremiah 29:11, the prophet
speaking the word of the
LORD to the exiles says,
For I know the plans I
have for you, declares the
LORD, plans to prosper
you and not to harm you,
plans to give you hope and
a future. This hope and
future is the fulfillment of
John 14 where Jesus says
I am going to take you to
be with me. When we lose
someone we should mourn
but also realize they have
fulfilled their hope and
their future in Gods time
and he never makes a mistake.
Ministry on the
Holiness of God.

OPINION
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Thursday, October 2, 2025
Lets just face it were awesome
Thanks to Hallmark Cards and the
explosion of professional lobby and public relations organizations in the U.S.,
everybody gets their week nowadays to
celebrate themselves and talk about how
awesome they are.
You know, National Police Week;
National Teachers Week; National Aglet
Testers Week ( you may need to look that
one up).
Well, next week, October 5-11, is
National Newspaper Week, so you know
what that means
Yep, were awesome. And Im going to
tell you why.
For starters were awesome because
were still alive. Despite Facebook and
Governor Kellys Covid shutdown and
growing ambivalence among much of the
general public whether or not anyones
really accountable the information theyre
getting, the Review and other mostly local
newspapers have managed to hack out a
survival plan these recent years that have
kept our hearts beating.
How did we do it? Because were awesome. Also because weve learned to use
technology to do more with less expensive
payroll. We knocked down the actual size
of the newspaper youre holding in your
hands right now to a little better than half
the width it used to be. Some newspapers now run bail bonding companies or
real estate agencies on the side or write
resumes or produce video commercials
for their advertisers to post online. Yep, in
our industry theres been one rule as the
world we live in has changed: adapt or die.
Some of our brother and sister papers
have indeed died and some are still hanging on by a thread, only because they were
bought by chain ownership that sucks
away revenue for investors and leaves
little to nothing with which to operate the
paper. Were fortunate in Kansas to still
have private ownership of a lot of newspapers publishers who still give a damn
about their communities and the quality
of their product. Some communities are
not so fortunate.
But how do I really know were awesome? Because you tell me.
You have these innate expectations that
make me proud. You may not subscribe or
ever even buy a copy of the paper, and you
may not ever run an ad with the Review.
But when your kid gets cancer, you or
someone close to you asks me to help promote your fundraiser. When you lose your
job because someone fired you in some
sneaky fashion, you contact me and try
to get me to help. When someone wants to
build a pig farm south of your house, you
ask me to cover the story and make sure
people are made aware of whats going on.
You may be afraid to say something that
desperately needs to be heard, and find
our anonymous Phone Forum column is
the only way to be heard without suffering
repercussions for your words.
You may never even think about the
Review until you need us so bad it hurts.
We offer something that Facebook and
social media dont an actual beating
heart that will stand with you in your
hometown, in front of the public or the
school board or the judge when youve
been wronged. Sometimes we take the
heat you cant take alone.
Thats how we roll, and its an honor.
Thats why were awesome. ###

Id like to see The Chamber Players do

A little taste of James Comeys foray into lies
This is not the place to analyze the
details of former FBI Director James
Comeys indictment because we dont
know what those details are. Prosecutors
will soon have to come up with a bill
of particulars enumerating the specific
lies they allege Comey told under oath.
Of course, there are critics who say the
whole thing is a disaster. For now, we
dont really know.
But we do know what happened in
2017. The new president, Donald Trump,
was the target of wild speculation accusing him of collusion with Russia in the
2016 election. Comey, then head of the
FBI, was in the middle of it, leading the
bureaus Crossfire Hurricane investigation.
When Trump was still president-elect,
Comey, after long and careful planning,
used a briefing on Russian election influence efforts as the pretext to ambush
Trump with the so-called pee tape allegation from the debunked Steele dossier.
It happened on Jan. 6, 2017, in Trump
Tower in New York. At the end of the
briefing, Comey said, Can I have a few
minutes alone with the president-elect?
With just the two men in the room,
Comey hit Trump with the accusation
that the Russians had recorded Trump
with prostitutes performing kinky sex
acts in a Moscow hotel room in 2013.
Trump was left stunned and wondering
whether the director of the FBI was setting him up for something.
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
BYRON Y0RK THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER
For Comey, it was part of Crossfire
Hurricane, an opportunity to question
the key figure in the investigation under
the guise of a security briefing. After the
meeting, Comey dashed to an FBI car,
where a laptop was waiting for him to
write his version of what Trump said,
for instant analysis by the Crossfire
Hurricane team. (Many of the details
and quotes in this newsletter are taken
from Obsession, my 2020 book about the
pursuit of Trump.)
Comey later wrote that as he prepared
for the meeting, he was concerned that
Trump would assume I was pulling a J.
Edgar Hoover, a reference to the founding FBI director famous for keeping and
using embarrassing information about
politicians. In light of that, Comey said
he tried to think of some way he could
reassure Trump. After extensive dis-
cussion with my team, I decided I could
assure the president-elect that the FBI
was not currently investigating him,
Comey wrote.
Sure enough, Trump was deeply concerned by Comeys pee tape maneuver.
As he began to grow more defensive
and the conversation teetered toward
disaster, Comey recalled, the FBI director used his reassurance plan, saying,
We are not investigating you, sir. The
statement seemed to quiet him, Comey
wrote.
But was it really true that the FBI was
not investigating Trump? Was Comey
telling Trump the truth? Here is a passage from Obsession:
Comey seemed to believe it was quite
clever to assure Trump that he was not
under investigation, even as the investigation continued apace. Comey later
wrote that telling Trump, We are not
investigating you, sir, was literally
true because the FBI did not have
a counterintelligence case file open on
him. But Comey was hairsplitting,
and other FBI officials warned him that
what he said was misleading. [FBI general counsel James] Baker told Comey as
much in a pre-meeting planning session.
Of course Trump is under investigation,
Baker argued. His conduct might well
be within the scope of an investigation
looking at whether his campaign coordiSEE YORK ON PAGE 14
Kimmel regurgitates Left Wing lie and gets suspended
Jimmy Kimmel probably didnt affirmatively lie about the politics of Charlie
Kirks killer — he just didnt know what
he didnt know.
In the monologue that got him suspended by ABC, the late-night show host
averred, We hit some new lows over
the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid
who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything
other than one of them.
This was so flagrantly wrong and woefully misinformed that it would have
been a firing offense if Kimmel were a
journalist. We can assume his defense
would be that hes trying to be Johnny
Carson, not Edward R. Murrow, yet he
long ago made himself into a quasi-political commentator.
The deeper question is, why did
Kimmel have no idea what he was
talking about, as someone who makes a
very good living following the news and
trying to make jokes — or at least pointed
comments — about it?
Kimmel was presumably misled by the
legacy medias unwillingness to be forthright about Tyler Robinsons motive and
by the obfuscations of Democratic officeholders and progressive commentators.
If he thought he was trusting the trusted
sources, he made a grievous error.
Because the Kirk assassination
doesnt fit the preferred narrative of
a hateful right-winger committing an

act of violence — rather, the complete
opposite — there hasnt been a national
crisis-level wave of concern about the
motive of the suspect and its potential
sources.
Instead, much of the press acts as
if it is grappling with an epistemological problem of the depth and subtlety
that led to the German physicist Werner
Heisenberg arriving at his uncertainty
principle in the 1920s (its impossible to
determine both the exact position and
velocity of a particle at the same time).

The New York Times wrote, Prosecutors

messages about Mr. Kirks hatred, but
the authorities have not identified which
of Mr. Kirks views the suspect found

him. How dare that person? We all have
freedom of speech, and no one should be
murdered because they spoke up and said
that they thought.
Yes, which views could they have
been? Kirks hateful opinions on how
to streamline the licensing for liquified
natural gas terminals? On antitrust
policy? On how to settle the dispute
over Kashmir? (The Times did note
that Robinsons mother told prosecutors that hed moved left over the last
year and become more pro-gay and
trans-rights-oriented.)
On CNN the other night, Kaitlan
Collins had a testy exchange with Ted
Cruz during which she insisted: We
dont have a motive yet. We dont know
yet, were waiting. This after the
charging document was released that
details how Robinson told both his parents and his gender-transitioning boyfriend that he killed Kirk because of the
influential activists hate.
Im saying, Collins explained, when
pressed by Cruz, that law enforcement
has not put a specific motive.
This is true — depending on how you
define specific — but law enforcement
has made it obvious that Robinson killed
Kirk for ideological reasons, and everything points to Kirks opposition to the
trans agenda being a prime motivator.
There is no need to be pettifogging
about this. Its a little like in the aftermath of the assassination of Martin
Luther King, leaving open the possibility

I see us farmers got a front page story
about how good our corn is supposedly.
Non-farmers will read this and think, wow,
farmers have it made. Even the CEO of the
ethanol plant is quoted about how great the
corn supposedly is. What the article or the
CEO didnt mention is that they are paying
us for corn basically what they did in 1980,
while fertilizer, for instance, has increased
over four times what it was in 1980s. Even
at the 140 bushel corn, the farmer most likely will lose money or at best break even this
year. So now that everyone has been told
how great farmers have it, hopefully there
will be an article next week proclaiming
how wonderful non- farmers hourly wages
and salaries are for all to see.

Great Bend seeks historic fort
By the time you read
this column, I should be
involved in an archaeological project near Great
Bend, KS. About a month
ago I was asked by Barbara
Crable, State of Kansas
Contract Archaeologist,
if I would be interested in
assisting in the search for
the old Ft. Zarah, which
originally stood near the
Santa Fe Trail crossing
in Barton County, east of
Great Bend. I dont have to
tell you my answer to that
invitation.
I will leave Garnett
early on the morning of
29 September and join the
crew in the field at 11:00
a.m. We will work the
week and come home on 3
October. I depart again on
the 6th of October and hopefully we will finish up this
project by Friday afternoon
the 10th.

perhaps a few metal detector surveys. Also, we will
be opening some 1×1 grids,
and several trenches will be

of criminal restraint just
hours before the beginning
of a three-day trial scheduled to begin September 24.
Anderson County Attorney
Steve Wilson said the plea
got the approval of the 64
year-old female victim in
the case and avoided her
testimony in open court.
The Ottawa woman told
officers Cruz-Cantu clotheslined her from her bicycle
October 10 of last year as she
rode on the Prairie Spirit
Trail south of Scipio and
pounced on her, attempting to sexually assault her
and stuffing leaves in her
mouth when she attempted
to scream. She said she was
able to kick herself away
from him and down the
trails embankment where
she was able to run for help
to a nearby house.
Court documents had
not set a sentencing date in
the case as of the Reviews
press deadline yesterday.
Wilson said the states sentencing grid allowed a maximum of 73 months for the
two felony counts, slightly less than the maximum
had prosecutors gained a
conviction on the attempted rape charge. Wilson said
an accurate sentencing was
complicated by the inability of the local court to
ascertain with confidence
Cruz-Cantus prior criminal record in Mexico.
Cantu is subject to a U.S.

October 2 – A number of prairie schooners passed through town
this morning. These vehicles are
again becoming quite common of
late, which indicates that the fall
emigration is setting in.

one we ever lived in that closed the
barber shops on Sunday. A great
many people, especially traveling
men, get into town late on Saturday
night, and have to go unshaved on
Sunday, and therefore stay away
from church as a result. Other towns
allow the barber shops to keep open
until 12 oclock Sunday, why not
ours.
October 3 – Our old friend Irish
Jimmy, has again been pulled for
selling whiskey contrary to law.
Jimmy has several weaknesses and
one of his greatest is that of imagining himself a Kansas drug store,
fully empowered by law to doctor
the afflicted. He should confine his
labors to prescribing for himself.

streak of hard luck. Following the
late bank robbery S. D. Whittington
has lost a good livery team, which
was hired from him by a man named
Jim Davenport, who has never
returned them. Soon after that Levi
Shepherd had a horse and cart stolen which has not been recovered.

Today the world should do

It needs to have a skin like

look on the outside but indside is gradually a hardening heart. If someone I,
hurt or killed because they
think, it be, they disagreed
with me. We are not the
same religion color, race,

your own heritage. Were
they all accepted completely? Thank you.
The gap is made up with
property taxes. How much
will Garnetts property
taxes increase on top of a

the current pool is difficult.
A Larger pool equals more

Polly is a female, 11-month-old beautiful Golden Retriever
mix (we think), tan in color, approx. 60lbs. We cant say
enough good things about her. Shes a laid-back lady who
rarely barks. Polly is super smart and easy to train. She
already knows basic commands and is house-trained, crate
trained. This golden girl would play well with other dogs
and is cat friendly. She loves the freedom to run in a fenced
yard, and hard bones are her toy of choice. Those keep her
occupied for quite a while.

Trump is so woefully lacking in rational political
leadership, he will become
the reality of a man without a country. Hence, he
will twist in the wind until
the end of his turn and fade
into oblivion as a historic
presidential aberration.
How ironic that the same
Democrats who wish
to abolish our Second
Amendment, the right to
keep and bear arms, are
now literally going after
conservatives and shooting
us. Why? For not agree-
ing with them? Makes no
sense. Like being all in for
the New Green Deal, then
turning around and burning Teslas. Two words: leftist lunatics.
The irony of USD 365 forcibly taking a couple million
dollars more from the taxpayers just weeks after telling the St. Rose kids that
six grand would absolutely break their transportation budget if the Catholics
didnt pony up. What a joke.
Does anyone know how
many automobiles and
light trucks the City of

LOCAL
TAX…
FROM PAGE 1
Additional projects under
consideration include:
New boat docks at Lake
Garnett and Crystal Lake
Updated restroom facilities and camping stalls
Pickleball courts and
playground upgrades
An outdoor amphitheater
for concerts, theater productions, and community events
Dog park and trail
improvements
Long-Term Vision
If approved, the sales tax
would sunset after 15 years,
with officials estimating that
the gradual funding plan
would allow phased completion of projects while avoiding new debt.
City leaders say previous
discussions explored bonds,
fundraisers, and even pool
closure, but the sales tax
emerged as the most practical solution. It would
not matter if you lived in
the city limits, lived in the
county, or were just passing
through, the report stated. Everyone who spends
money in Garnett would help
make these improvements
possible.
The measure will appear
on the November 7 ballot.
Following is a detailed
list of projects per the citys
information sheet:
PROPOSED CITY SALES
TAX
WHAT WILL THE TAX
PROVIDE?
1. Park Improvement
at Lake Garnett, Crystal
Lake, and the Cedar Valley
Reservoir. These improvements would include but are
not limited to the following:
a. Recreation Center
Carpet replacement, equipment lease and/or purchase,
creation of a game room for
kids.
b. Construction of new
boat docks.
c. Replacement of all existing bathrooms.
d. Upgrades to camping
facilities.
e. Addition of pickleball
courts.
f. Restoration/cleanup of
the Optimist Field.
g. Restoration/cleanup of
the West side Baseball Field.
h. Restoration/cleanup of
the Top Field.
i. Restoration/cleanup of
the Legion Field.
j. Restoration/remodel of
the existing swimming pool
and pool house.
WHY A SALES TAX
INSTEAD OF A BOND
ELECTION?
The North Lake Complex
is a very important asset to
the community. It is used by
people who live in our community as well as by those
visiting our community.
This one-cent sales tax on
consumer goods and services
would be the fairest way to
fund these improvements,
lessening the burden on the
citizens at large, thus steering away from property tax
increases for these improvements.
HOW MUCH MONEY WILL
THE TAX GENERATE?
It is estimated that a
one-cent tax would generate approximately $600,000
of revenue per year. This
money would be used for
improving the North Lake
Complex.
WHAT IS THE ESTIMATED
TIME FRAME FOR
COMPLETION OF THE
PROJECT?
Improvements will take
fifteen (15) years to complete, but depends on sunset
clause.
WHY DO WE NEED THESE
IMPROVEMENTS?
On January 3, 1978,
Leon
Hammerschmidt,
Hammerschmidt Specialties,
sent a proposal to the City of
Garnett which outlined the
renovation of the swimming
pool which included the following:
Complete removal of
existing concrete bottom.
Install all new plumbing.
Install all new filter
equipment.
A new gunite shell constructed inside of the old hole
and existing walls.
Gunite shell will be finished with a marbleized plaster.
The top edge will be bordered by 6 x 6 frost proof
tile.
4-foot cantilever edge will
be placed around the entire
edge of pool.
Removal and replacement of fence by OWNERS.
Removal of existing deck
by OWNERS.Replacement
of deck beyond 4-foot edge
(cantilever) will be done by
OWNERS.
Electrical by OWNER
except for 10 lights furnished
by us.
Mechanical pad furnished by OWNERS.
All of this included above
totaled one hundred nine
thousand seven hundred forty-four dollars
($109,744.00).
On November 10, 1998,
Ordinance 3303 was passed
levying a City Retailers
Sales Tax in the amount of
one-half of one percent (0.5%)
with the City of Garnett, for
the purpose of a Library
Building Expansion; Park
and Recreation Maintenance
and Improvements; and
Street Maintenance and
Improvements that would
be effective January 1, 1999.
At that time, the sales tax
was estimated to generate
$160,000 of revenue per year,
with 60% allocated for the
Library, 25% for parks and
recreation
maintenance
and improvements, and the
remaining 15% for street
maintenance and improvements. The 15% allocated for
streets amounted to $24,000
at that time. In 2020, the bond
held on the Baseball Complex
and Library were paid off. In
2021, the remaining bond on
the City Complex and Streets
was paid off.
On November 12, 2002,
The City Commission passed
Ordinance 3487 authorizing
the issuance and delivery of
a three hundred ten-thousand-dollars ($310,000.00)
bond for the purpose of paying the cost or a portion of
the cost of improvements
to the swimming pool. On
November 25, 2002, The City
of Garnett and Triangle
Builders LLC signed an
agreement hiring Triangle
Builders as the Construction
Manager for improvements
totaling three hundred two
thousand two hundred fifty-five dollars ($302,255.00).
Those improvements included:
1. POOL
Removing underwater
lights and grout full.
Repair shallow pool bottom, approximately 800sf and
cosmetic repairs.
Waterblast and repaint
pool.
Repair cracks in pool
deck
Remove and replace damaged pool decking and caulking.

recirc. Pump; enlarge door
open.
Install a chemical feed
system.

tile
around pool edge.
Provide safety painting.
Provide suction safety
device.
Remove high dive structure and low dive; install 2
new low dives.
Add concrete decking at
the south side of the pool.
Shade structure (20 x
28).
2. BATHHOUSE
ADA modifications to
Bathhouse.

exhaust fans.

There is no doubt these
two (2) improvements projects extended the life of our
existing swimming pool. Fast
forward to today, the swimming pool is still a frequent
fun spot for many people,
both young and old, however
the pool is showing its age.
Although the main bowl does
not leak, there have been several instances where pieces
of the pool have broken off
and the holes created had to
be patched. In the bathhouse,
there are several cracks as
well as pieces of the walls
missing. The bases of the diving boards are rusting. All
these things are significant
safety hazards.
In 2019, $3,750.00 was budgeted for swimming pool
maintenance. In 2020, that
number was increased to
$25.00 and $4,000 was budgeted. 2021 saw no increase here
and the budget remained the
same with $4,000.00. In 2022,
that number was increased
to $6,750 with the same
amount being budgeted for
2023. Looking at 2024, the
likelihood of that number
increasing is slim as this is
nowhere near enough money
to fix the issues in both the
swimming pool and the
bathhouse with the last two
improvements being over
$100,000.00. So, what do we
do? Therehave been discussions about using existing
Special Highway funds to fix
the pool. There has been talk
of issuing a bond. Talks of
closing the pool.
As mentioned earlier, a
bond election would not be
ideal. Raising taxes to fund
a project like this would not
be ideal either as that fund-
ing mechanism only targets
those that reside inside city
limits. It has been mentioned
to have a fundraiser to raise
funds for the pool, which
may raise some money but
not enough for the cost of
the improvements. The idea
of adding a sales tax has
been discussed at several
City Commission meetings.
So again, what do we do?
The most reasonable answer
would be to go the route of
a sales tax as it would be
the fairest of the options. It
would not matter if you lived
in the city limits, lived in
the county, or were merely traveling through to your
next stop. If you purchased
something from any city
business, a portion of that
money would go toward the
swimming pool and park
improvements.
Attached behind this
pro-forma are quotes to fix
our current pool. There are
three (3) different options,
each having a specific warranty. I know there are many
that would love to have a new
swimming pool; however, we
do not have the funds to construct one at this time.
BALL FIELD
IMPROVEMENTS AT THE
NORTH LAKE COMPLEX
Other items that need
attention are the baseball
and soccer fields. The fencing around the baseball fields
needs repair as the top rail is
missing, fencing curled up,
and fence posts leaning in all
directions.
The Soccer fields need
true aeration and reshaping as there is zero shape
to the fields. The middle of
the fields are beat down and
beyond flat. There are also
chug holes which can cause
significant injury if someone
were to step into one while
playing. All these things are
significant safety hazards
and are illustrated in the
photos below.

preempted by federal
law as part of a challenge by Powerback
Rehabilitation, a national clinic with an independent living facility. The
federal statute required
Powerback to implement a universal vaccine requirement or lose
Medicare and Medicaid
funding.
The state law prohibited employers who
implemented COVID-19
vaccine mandates from
taking punitive action
against any employee
who submitted a written waiver stating the
requirement would violate sincerely held religious beliefs. The law
also prevented employers from trying to determine the veracity of
the claim, the Journal
reported.
In fact, the law defined
sincerely held religious
belief as theistic and
non-theistic moral and
ethical beliefs as to what
is right and wrong that
are sincerely held with
the strength of traditional religious views.
Hauber found that the
state law was preempted
by federal law because it
barred health care facilities from inquiring into
the sincerity of a prospective employees religious
beliefs, which is allowed
under federal statute.
According to the
Journal, Hauber additionally found that the
law violated an employers due process rights,
ruling that merely
prohibiting them from
inquiring
into
the
basis for an exemption
demonstrates an arbitrary and unreasonable
action.
However, in a 4-2 ruling, the Kansas Supreme
Court reversed Hauber.
Justice Caleb Stegal,
writing for the majority,
stated that because the
federal vaccine mandate permits a religious
exemption and the federal law allows but does
not require employers
to verify the sincerity of
the religious objection,
the law does not preempt
state law.
There is no dispute in this case that
Powerbacks vaccination
policy (including the
available exemptions and
process for receiving one)
complied with federal
law but violated Kansas
law, Stegall wrote. So,
simply put, this case asks
us to resolve the question which law must
Powerback follow? We
hold the two regimes
are not in conflict, thus
Powerback must comply
with both.
The state law passed
in an around-the-clock
session in 2021 fined
businesses that refused
to waive the vaccine
requirements for religious reasons, and was
passed in response to federal vaccine mandates.
Governor Laura Kelly
signed the bill.

one yourself. Theyre often filled with asbestos
insulation, asphalt shingles and other materials
that when burned can create toxic fumes, and
if buried can pollute not just the soil but also
water runoff. Tearing one of the structures down
invites a whole set of other problems, since those
materials have to be handled according to additional state regulations as well, and commissioners discussed it could cost $5,000-$6,000 for
demolition of those structures even if the county
waived dumping fees. Consequently, most rural
landowners just allow those old eyesore structures to stand degrading and become a haven
for critters.
Anderson County allows burning of brush
and natural grasses for agricultural purposes,
but it also restricts burning any kind of con-
struction waste, or other heavy smoke producing petroleum based materials similar to KDHE
restrictions. Those materials can be hauled to
the county landfill.
Youre not even supposed to burn a treated
2×4, Gillespie said.
County commissioners were sympathetic to
landowners dealing with the issue, but in the
end acknowledged that the laws are the laws.
You cant blame them. Theres no win to
the deal, said 2nd District Commissioner Tony
Mersman. If you want it gone bad enough,
youre going to break the law.
Gillespie said he planned to discuss the issue
with KDHE and he expected a citation to be
issued in the incident.

nated with Russia. But
Comey was now on the
record with Trump saying
that the president-elect was
not under investigation.
To no ones surprise,
Comeys Trump Tower
session with the president-elect leaked to the
press a few days later,
when CNN reported that
the nations top intelligence
officials presented Trump
with compromising personal information the
story of the pee tape
that came from a former
British intelligence operative whose past work U.S.
intelligence officials consider to be credible. TrumpRussia hysteria, already at
a high level, soared even
higher.
But what about that key
question: Is the president of
the United States under FBI
investigation? The untruth
Comey told in Trump Tower
soon came back into the
picture when, on March 15,
2017, Comey talked privately to members of the Senate
Judiciary Committee. As
he had in the meeting with
Trump, Comey told senators that Trump was not
under investigation.
To any layman, and that
included some members
of the committee, it was
obvious that the FBI was
investigating Trump. What
was Crossfire Hurricane
about, if it did not include
investigating Trump? And
why would Comey have
pulled the Hoover maneuver if Trump were not
under investigation? But
Comey assured senators
that Trump was not under
investigation.
Those
conversations
were in private meetings.
Five days later, on March
20, Comey testified publicly before the House
Intelligence Committee.
There, he told a different
story. He began by dramatically announcing, I have
been authorized by the
Department of Justice to
confirm that the FBI, as part
of our counterintelligence
mission, is investigating
the Russian governments
efforts to interfere in the
2016 presidential election,
and that includes investigating the nature of any
links between individuals
associated with the Trump
campaign and the Russian
government and whether
there was any coordination
between the campaign and
Russias efforts.
The obvious question
was whether individuals associated with the
Trump campaign included
Trump. Comey was asked
that repeatedly, by lawmakers from both parties,
and each time he answered,
Im not going to answer
that.
So behind closed doors,
Comey confidently told
members of Congress and
Trump that Trump was

Brush Only Clean-Up Week
The City of Garnett will hold a free brush-only pick-up service to all City of Garnett refuse
customers the week of October 20th through October 24th, 2025. Brush to be accepted includes
tree limbs, yard and garden debris only. No refuse, trash, or household items will be allowed to
be mixed in with brush. If such items are bagged
or piled together with brush, then all contents
provided for pick-up will not be removed. Brush
is to be piled near the alley or curbside near
where weekly trash is picked up. City crews will
begin on the north side of the city, working their
way south until the entire town has been covered. They will not return to an area once they
have been by, so please
have all brush to the alley
or curbside by 7:00 a.m.
on October 20th.
not under investigation. In
front of the cameras, under
oath, Comey refused to say.
That undoubtedly left the
impression in many minds
that the real answer was
yes, the president was
under investigation, which,
of course, he was.
Sen. Charles Grassley
(R-IA),
chairman
of
the Senate Judiciary
Committee, was appalled.
Taking to X, formerly
Twitter, later in the day on
March 20, Grassley said,
FBI Dir Comey needs to be
transparent + tell the public what he told me about
whether he is or is not
investigating POTUS. That
is all Grassley felt he could
say because the briefing
had been confidential. But
Grassley knew that Comey
had told him, straight out,
that Trump was not under
investigation. Grassley was
angry that Comey was saying one thing in private and
another in public. But that
was Comeys way.
The simple description
of what happened is that
Comey, in a private setting,
lied to Trump on Jan. 6, 2017,
and then, also in a private
setting, lied to Grassley and
other members of Congress
on March 15, 2017. Then, in
public on March 20, 2017,
Comey refused to answer
the question he had privately lied about.
Trumps worries about
Comey, serious before,
became even more serious.
In the wake of the Trump
Tower incident, once he was
president, Trump invited
Comey to the White House.
On Jan. 27, 2017, the two of
them and just the two of
them had dinner at the
residence. There, Trump,
according to Comey, said,
I need loyalty, I expect loyalty.
Given what had happened in Trump Tower,
with Comey surprising
Trump with the salacious
and debunked pee tape
story, and then dashing
out to assess the information with the Crossfire
Hurricane
prosecution
team, it is not surprising
that Trump would want
assurances that the FBI
director was not secretly
seeking to prosecute him.
What Trump did not know
at the Jan. 27 dinner is that
Comey, just like he did after
the Trump Tower pee tape
meeting, would leave the
White House to write down
his version of what Trump
said. The two had later conversations, in person and
on the phone, and Comey
did the same thing after
each one.
On May 9, 2017, Trump
fired Comey. Exactly
a week later, on May 16,
2017, the New York Times
made a huge splash reporting that at that private
dinner on Jan. 27, Trump
asked Comey at least two
times for a pledge of loyalty which Mr. Comey
declined. The story set
off an uproar, with some
commentators comparing
Trump to a Mafia boss.
Comey, of course, leaked
the information to the New
York Times. But he did
not do it directly. Instead,
after he was fired, Comey
gave the notes to a friend,
Columbia University law
professor Daniel Richman,
who then read selected
parts of the notes aloud to
a New York Times reporter. Comey later said he
went through a cutout for
a variety of reasons. But
whatever Comeys tactical
decisions were, the larger
purpose of the leak was
clear. I thought that might
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Thursday, October 2, 2025
prompt the appointment of
a special counsel, Comey
said. If he could just stir
enough controversy about
the matter, Comey reasoned, the political pressure to appoint a counsel
would be overwhelming.
And indeed, it was; Comey
got what he wanted a short
time later, on May 17, 2017,
with the appointment of
Trump-Russia special counsel Robert Mueller.
In the end, it didnt work.
After two years of investigation that at times paralyzed the Trump White
House, Mueller concluded
that he could not establish that collusion, which
he called conspiracy or
coordination, had ever
occurred. All of James
Comeys scheming and dissembling and too-cleverby-half statements failed to
establish that the crime for
which he and the Crossfire
Hurricane team pursued
Trump had ever even happened. On the other hand,
Comey had done incalculable political damage to
Trumps presidency.
After it was all over,
the inspector general of
the Justice Department,
Michael Horowitz, examined Comeys actions. As an
FBI employee, Comey was
subject to rules requiring
that he keep highly sensitive law enforcement material confidential, Horowitz
noted. Instead, Comey
leaked the memos in hopes
of leveraging them into an
investigation of the president of the U.S. Horowitz
concluded that Comey had
set a dangerous example
for employees of the FBI.
From Horowitzs report:
By not safeguarding
sensitive
information
during the course of his FBI
employment, and by using
it to create public pressure
for official action, Comey
set a dangerous example for
the over 35,000 current FBI
employees and the many
thousands more former FBI
employees who similarly
have access to or knowledge
of non-public information
Comeys closest advisors
used the words surprised,
stunned,
shocked,
and disappointment to
describe their reactions
to learning what Comey
had done In a country
built on the rule of law, it
is of utmost importance
that all FBI employees
adhere to Department and
FBI policies, particularly
when confronted by what
appear to be extraordinary
circumstances or compelling personal convictions.
Comey had several other
lawful options available
to him to advocate for the
appointment of a special
counsel, which he told us
was his goal in making the
disclosure. What was not
permitted was the unauthorized disclosure of sensitive
investigative information,
obtained during the course
of FBI employment, in
order to achieve a personally desired outcome.
Could there be a more
complete condemnation of
Comeys actions? Horowitz
did it in a couple of paragraphs.
Now Comey is in the
news again, facing criminal
charges. Does this episode
mean Comey lied under
oath as alleged in the indictment? No, it doesnt. But
it does mean that no one
should ever trust a word
James Comey says.

Central Heights Vikings face big challenges Fire up the grill: Grilling
at Rim Rock cross country meet in Lawrence workshop set for Oct. 11
LAWRENCE – The Central
Heights Vikings cross
country teams faced one
of their largest challenges
of the season at Rim Rock
on Saturday, competing
against some of the best
runners in the region.
The girls team finished
33rd out of 85 teams (717 runners), led by Ebony Hughes,
who ran a season-best
22:07.8925 seconds faster than her time on the
course a year ago. Arabella
Dunbar, the only other
girl with prior Rim Rock
experience, shaved 1:20 off
her previous time. Despite
a nagging knee issue, Lily
Burkdoll ran without further injury, while Katelyn
Burkdoll ran a strong race,
passing a large group of
competitors in the final
stretch. Caitlynn Detwiler
completed her first Rim
Rock race unscathed, and
Mackenzie Moon, after suffering an injury just past
the first mile, persevered
to finish. The teams effort
demonstrated resilience
and heart, showing the
importance of seeking out
elite competition to grow
and improve.
On the boys side, the
Vikings faced a crowded
field of over 500 runners.
Josiah Meyer led the team
in 35th place, improving
his time from last year
by 12 seconds. Stetson
Miller battled discomfort
mid-race but finished efficiently, while Cash Miller
delivered arguably his best
performance of the season.
Caleb Detwiler also ran
a strong first race on the
hilly 5K course. Seniors
Aidan Howland and Aydan
Dunbar competed in Rim
Rock for the final time,
finishing with determination. Unfortunately, Ben
was unable to finish after
a hard fall early in the
race. Despite the challenges, the boys team secured
14th place out of 92 teams,
demonstrating both skill
and perseverance.
With nearly 3,000 athletes from around 200
schools competing, the
Rim Rock meet provided
valuable experience for the
Vikings. The team looks
forward to building on
these performances as the
season continues, striving
to improve health, fitness,
and race-day execution in
the weeks ahead.

that James Earl Ray might
have killed the civil rights
leader for his views on the
doctrine of substitutionary
atonement. But its nearly
impossible for the media to
process the concept of protrans militancy, let alone
violent pro-trans militancy,
so they prefer to mumble and
look at their shoes.
An ABC reporter even
characterized Robinsons
text messages to his boyfriend after the assassination
as very touching (before
apologizing). Its doubtful
if, in 1963, journalists had
found a loving note from Lee
Harvey Oswald to his wife
Marina that they would have
been similarly moved.

As you fire up the grill,
keep these food safety tips
in mind to prevent foodborne illness:
*Store Meat Properly:
Always store meat in the
refrigerator at 40 degrees
Fahrenheit or below and
never leave it out at room
temperature for longer
than 2 hours.
*Use
a
Food
Thermometer: Color alone
is not a reliable indicator of
doneness.
*Marinate
Safely:
Remember to marinate
foods in the refrigerator
and not on the kitchen
counter.
*Avoid
Cross
Contamination: Use separate cutting boards for raw
meat and other foods.
*Thaw Meat Safely:
Always thaw meat in the
refrigerator and not on the
counter.
Whether you are a weekend BBQ warrior, a tailgating pro, or simply looking to elevate your grilling
skills, this workshop has
