THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT A local man bonded out
of jail by noon Sunday after officers
were able to subdue him Saturday
night in what they described as an
armed standoff on north Oak Street
in Garnett.
Garnett
Police
Department
Detective Todd Turner said the incident began when officers investi-
then armed himself
and barricaded himself in a detached
garage.
GPD announced
the incident subChambers
sequently
on
the
departments
Facebook page, advising residents the
area was blocked off and to stay out
of the area. Numerous vehicles how-
ever circled in adjoining blocks periodically throughout the evening until
the incident was brought to a close
around 10:30 p.m.
Anderson County Jail records
show James Lonnie Chambers, 32 of
Garnett, faces charges of aggravated
domestic battery and various other
charges in connection with the standoff, including aggravated assault on a
law enforcement officer, aggravated
assault with a deadly weapon, criminal threat, witness intimidation, felony obstruction and resisting arrest.
Chambers bonded out of jail at noon
Sunday on a $10,000 bond.
Detective Turner said police
arrived at Chambers residence shortly after 6:30 p.m. to investigate the
domestic battery call and attempted
the arrest before Chambers retrieved
a weapon and barricaded himself in
the detached garage.
After a search warrant was
approved, forced entry was made into
the garage, Turner said in a statement to the Review Sunday. The suspect was observed armed and pointing a rifle at law enforcement while
threatening to shoot law enforcement
via telephone.
Chambers suspect was arrest-
ed after Turner said less than lethal
munitions were utilized, including
impact munitions and CS gas.
Neighbors said they heard what
they believed were flash bang grenades and saw tactical officers loading a vehicle with a ramming device
preparing to breach the structure.
Chambers reportedly suffered a facial
injury in the incident and was treated at Anderson County Hospital. He
was eventually booked into Anderson
County Jail at 4:30 a.m.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT In the shadow
of a recent declaration by
Garnetts mayor that he was
endorsing one of the write-in
candidates running against
him, candidates for Garnett
City Commission and USD 365
School Board discussed topics
ranging from city infrastructure to diversity, equity &
inclusion at Thursday nights
political forum sponsored
by Garnetts Business and
Professional Womens club.
Thursdays event came days
after Mayor Jason Sheahan
announced on Facebook he
would be voting for write-in
candidate Nate Wiehl and
urged his supporters to do so
as well. Sheahan said he felt
that because of his personality
type being the mayor wasnt
the proper position for him.
Sheahan stayed for the remainder of the meeting and participated in various discussions of
city business.
Moderator Jason Mills

November election candidates Paula Scott, Mark
Powels, Nate Wiehl, Jason Sheahan and Adam
posed questions submitted
anonymously for write-in candidates Wiehl and Paula Scott,
as well as candiates Mark
Powls and Sheahan who will
appear on the Nov. 7 printed
ballot. Incumbent USD 365
School Board member for
Position 7 Adam Caylor also
attended. His opponent Justin
Kohlmeier did not attend.
Caylor was asked his position on public school policies
embracing claims of transgender students to use opposite sex
restrooms and locker rooms
and participation in gender-defined sports that dont match a
students birth sex. Caylor said
he believed such issues had
been magnified by media and

public schools should embrace
tolerance in dealing with that
issue. Caylor said he had not
come across the published
book Gender Queer (a book
dealing with gender dysphoria
and criticized across the country by conservatives as pornography) as an issue in USD 365.
He said he was not in favor of
Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
a curriculum theme focusing
on negative allegations against
White Culture in the United
States being a theme for
instruction in public schools.
Questions for city commission candidates focused on
more local aspects. Sheahan
commented he believed the the-
oretical prospects of combining Garnett city and Anderson
County governments similar
to the Unified Government of
Wyandotte County and Kansas
City, Ks. would be problematic for small communities. Mark
Powls said in order for such
a combination to succeed the
elected leadership board would
have to be increased from three
members now the norm for
both city and county commissions to five members. Both
Wiehl and Scott said they need
to study the issue more to form
an opinion on it.
Powls pursued the issue in
saying he supported the idea

THE SENTINEL
LAWRENCE As Israel
responds to the vicious terror
attacks by radical Islamist
group Hamas, a graduate
student group based at the
University of Kansas has
issued a statement in solidarity, not with Israel but with
the Palestinians.
The Graduate Teaching
Assistants Coalition a
labor union affiliated with
the American Federation of
Teachers on Oct. 18, posted
a Palestine Solidarity Letter
calling for a free Palestine,
and effectively calling for an
end to Israel.
As a labor union concerned
with the dignity of life for
workers everywhere, GTACs
leadership
unequivocally
supports a free Palestine and
demands an end to the illegal occupation of Palestinian
territory, the letter, posted
by Katie Hinders, who in 2022
was the grievance chair for
GTAC and is a doctoral student
in film and media studies. We
condemn the ongoing settler
colonial project, known as the
nation-state of Israel, which
does not represent all Jewish
people and is not synonymous
with biblical Israel.
It is unclear what position
Hinders currently has with the
union, as its website nowhere
lists its officers and the official KU Rock Chalk Central
website requires a student
or employee login in order to
view the list of officers.
The letter makes clear GTAC
doesnt recognize Israels right
to exist, let alone defend itself,
and calls the violence necessary.
We condemn the ethnic
genocide and sexual violence
against and the expulsion and
maiming of the Palestinian
people which began with the
1948 Nakba and has continued since. We refuse to stay
silent in the face of deadly and
inhuman injustices, Hinders
wrote. Violence will necessar-

Governor Kelly encourages
communities to join Kansas
Main Street Program
TOPEKA Governor Laura
Kelly announced today that the
Kansas Main Street program
is seeking new communities
to join the program in 2024.
Kansas Main Street provides
technical assistance and support for communities working
to revitalize their downtown
areas by focusing on economic
vitality, design, promotion, and
organization.
The Kansas Main Street program was initially launched
in 1985 but was ended in
2012 under the Brownback
Administration.
Governor
Kelly restarted the program
in 2019 with support from the
Kansas Legislature.
The Kansas Main Street
Program has been crucial
to preserving and growing
downtowns across the state,
Governor Laura Kelly said.
Downtown areas are the
heartbeat and pride of most
communities across Kansas,
and improving these community pillars is part of how well
bring new jobs to the area.
Communities wishing to
submit applications must first
attend a virtual application
workshop, which will explain
the Main Street Approach and
the process for completing
the application. Main Street
Kansas will host the next virtual application workshop at 10
a.m. Monday, November 13.
Applications for the Kansas
Main Street program will open
on December 4 and close on
January 26, 2024. Applications
will be reviewed in February,
with
new
communities
announced in March.
Eleven communities have
been added since Governor
Kelly brought the Kansas Main
Street program back in late
2019, Lieutenant Governor
and Secretary of Commerce

Deadly After Dark: Roadside Yes, you can have it your way!
deaths surge at night
WICHITA, Kan. As National
Move Over Day juist passed
last Saturday, Oct. 21st, AAA is
reminding the need for drivers
to slow down and move over,
away from first responders and
disabled motorists at the roadside at all hours, but especially
as the days grow shorter. The
latest statistics indicate that
more than 75% of all roadside
deaths occur after dark.
This is extremely troubling, especially with the darkest days of the year ahead,
said AAA spokesman Shawn
Steward. The Move Over law
is intended to ensure that first
responders working at the
roadside can provide emergency services to those in need
without risk to themselves or
those they are trying to help.
We are asking everyone to
adjust their driving behaviors
accordingly.
In Kansas, 28 people died in
roadside crashes while outside
a disabled vehicle between 2017
and 2021 75% of them occurring during dawn or dusk or
after dark.
Kansas Move Over Law
Move Over laws exist in all
50 states.
Kansas Move Over law
requires all motorists to slow
down and when possible, move
over a lane, away from first
responders, tow trucks, road
maintenance, and utility vehicles at the roadside. Those who
do not abide by the law are
subject to a fine and court costs
that can total $300 or more.
AAA Kansas will be leading efforts during during the
upcoming 2024 Kansas legislative session, along with a coalition of traffic safety partners,
on a new bill (Senate Bill SB
142), which would enhance
Kansas Move Over law to also
include all stationary/disabled
vehicles displaying hazard
lights, flares or other warning
signal. Across the nation, 19
states include stationary/disabled passenger vehicles in
their Move Over law to protect individual motorists and
passengers stranded along the
road.
Safety Recommendations for
Drivers
Remain alert, avoid distractions and focus on the task of
driving.
Keep an eye out for situations where emergency vehicles, tow trucks, utility service
vehicles or disabled vehicles
are stopped on the side of the
road.
When you see these situations, slow down and if possible, move one lane over and
away from people and vehicles
stopped at the side of the road.
The lives of our first
responders and those they are
trying to help, as well as individual drivers dealing with a
flat tire or car breakdown is
literally on your shoulders,
Steward added. Please, slow
down, move over and be especially cautious after dark.
FORUM…
Dr. David Jeremiah made
the following quote. When you
teach people their rights you have
a revolution. When you teach
them their responsibilities you
have a revival. If this statement
is true I would say we as a country are closer to revolution than
we are revival. I believe a good
Biblical definition of revolution
would be a period of gross iniquity, disgrace and consequent fear.
Kind of sounds familiar.
This doesnt happen suddenly. The great Roman Empire was
never conquered but collapsed
under the weight of its own moral
apostasy. I believe the collapse
of nation such as Rome is caused
by the failure of government and
individuals to take responsibility
for their actions. This is made
very clear in the Bible. When the
kingdom split under Solomon the
Northern kingdom went into idolatry and in 2 Kings 17:5-8 we read.
The King of Assyria invaded
the entire land, marched against
Samaria and laid siege to it for
three years. In the ninth year of
Hoshea, the king of Assyria captured Samaria and deported the
Israelites to Assyria. All this
took place because the Israelites
had sinned against the Lord their
God, who had brought them up
out of captivity in Egypt. The
Southern kingdom was also taken
captive by Babylon even though
they had five periods of revival
under five different kings.
I believe today if we want the
best God has for us we might need
to give up some of the things we
call rights. Somehow we have
merging the police and sheriffs departments, and that all
officers should be required to
take an oath supporting the
Kansas Constitution agreeing
to follow its precepts and not
necessarily governmental laws
and regulations in the conduct
of their jobs.
On the topic of Land Banks
a legal apparatus adopted
by the Garnett commission
in May 2022 that enables the
city to accept gifts of land and
in some cases condemn and
seize tax-delinquent or dilapidated properties in hopes of
re-ownering it for more productive use Powls said he
opposed its use because it gave
government too much power
in opposing private property
rights. Both Scott and Wiehl
said the process can be useful
as long as it isnt granted too
much power. Sheahan said the
process had its positives but
can also be problematic.
As to priorities for improving Garnett and promoting
community growth, Sheahan
said hed like to see citizens
become better educated on how
local government operates,
funding mechanisms, opportunity costs and limitations.
He said he believes too many
rules and regulations stymie
growth.
Wiehl said the citys priori-
ty should be infrastructure.
Powls said the best
approach is to follow the U.S.
Constitution and ease some
restrictions and zoning regulations. He said the city should
cut out middle management
positions on city staff to free
up money that could be used
more wisely perhaps giving
other employees a raise.
Scott said more authority
and focus should be placed on
people living in the community and the priorities they
themselves wanted to focus
on. She said outside influences had too much authority in
the way Garnett endeavors are
approached.
Powls, Scott and Wiehl all
said they supported looking
into Waste-To-Energy plant
possibilities that would burn
trash for city electrical production with the possibility of selling excess power back onto the
regional electric grid. Sheahan
said the citys initial look into
the option showed its costs
would be far in excess of what
Garnett could ever afford.
Only Powls and Sheahans
names will be printed on the
official election ballot. Scott
and Wiehl entered the race
after the filing deadline and
votes for them will have to be
written it the available writein space on the ballot.

been conditioned to believe we
have the right to do things in a
manner that pleases ourselves.
The idea that we dont need to be
obedient to God has become the
norm. After all many would say
if God loves me he would want
me to be happy and this is what
makes me happy. Certainly you
can continue to do what pleases you that is your choice. But
it will be your responsibility to
stand before a Holy God and take
responsibility for what you did.
For we must all appear before
the judgment seat of Christ, that
each one may receive what is due
him for the things done while in
the body, whether good or bad.
(2 Cor. 5:10) Isaiah the prophet
said this, We all, like sheep, have
gone astray, each of us has turned
to his own way; and the Lord has
laid on him (Jesus) the iniquity of
us all.
For sure you can have it your
way. However the consequences
attached to that will last for eternity. Someone once said, You

OPINION
KU donors should oppose terrorism
One has to wonder if big-time financial
donors to the KU Endowment Association like
the Hall Family Foundation in Kansas City or
Capitol Federal in Topeka ever get the willies
when some tattooed, purple-haired 7th-year grad
student, inching ever closer to that interpretive
dance degree, makes a public statement attacking their customers values.
In other words, to tilt at the slogan of KUs
gargantuan sugar daddy the Hall Family
Foundation of Hallmark Cards fame: is the KU
Graduate Teaching Assistants Coalitions recent
statement supporting terrorism against Israel
really caring enough to send the very best?
And if these big time donors dont get peeved
at these all too regular affronts to common
decency and logic from the unmoored emotional
juveniles burning their college funds and federally guaranteed students loans at KU and the
obvious attack on the values of the customers
who fund these big time donors, a logical question is: Why not? If theyre not upset by this,
should we be supporting those companies?
When your values are attacked youre obligated to speak up. And if youre a Hallmark Cards
customer or a customer at Capitol Federal or
any of the other scads of donors who shovel cash
to the KU Endowment Association every year,
you shouldnt be shy about scribbling a note to
that effect on your next payroll deposit slip at
the Capitol Federal branch bank.
There are other banks and other birthday
card printers, after all.
Most of us who remember 9/11 find it abhorrent to support a combatant in a war who decapitates babies with shovels in the midst of an
all-out frenzy of cowardice that specifically targets another nations civilians. But thats what
KUs Graduate Teaching Assistants Coalition
supports. KUs labor union for TAs (and heaven
knows the working conditions for a teaching
assistant must be akin to working in a coal
mine) released a Palestine Solidarity Letter
last week declaring its support for Hamas terrorists in radical Islams 70-year jihad to destroy
Israel and the Jews who live there.
Of course KUs GTAC is just trying to stay hip
with the nationwide collection of university nuts
at other colleges whove been basking in leftist
enlightenment for so long, instructed by dopey
professors who enrolled at the age of 18 and
never left, that actual facts and logic around topics like the Middle East conflict, sex/gender and
the Green Energy debacle have ceased to matter

President Niya MacAdo, who along with her
She/They pronouns now graces the campus of
University of Hawaii as a first-gen Educational
Administration graduate student focused on
creating equitable opportunities and access to
historically marginalized students in K-12 and
on college campuses according to her LinkedIn page, relayed her disdain for the terrible
conditions under which she as a woman of color
pursues an American education by tweeting:
Happy Friday folks. Death to America, just
days before the 20th anniversary of 9/11.
Ah yes, this is what happened when enlightened parents stopped spanking their kids.
Their bubble-wrapped world of entitlement
is one that refutes logic, let alone good taste.
Remember the day after Trump was elected, and
KUs campus was rife with counseling efforts,
cry rooms and puppy petting stations to provide consolement for distraught students and
faculty?
But what good would it do to express your
outrage about such juvenile insolence in an
academic environment that prizes free-thought
and free speech, even to degrees that push our
tolerance to the limit? Dont kid yourself into
thinking youll ever change it; but what you
will do in protesting to those who hold the huge
purse strings of universities is to illustrate to
their management and their administrations
that we actually are paying attention and that
while we prize free expression we also dont
deny or escape accountability.

Changes needed to bring Farm Bill back to life
As Congress recently pieced together legislation to avoid a government shutdown, the
Farm Bill, a piece of legislation passed every
five years, expired, leaving millions of farmers
wondering whether to expect a renewal of its
various programs. While some will continue
due to their presence in other appropriations,
many have been stopped while Congress negotiates a new bill over the coming months.
What is the Farm Bill?
The bill, which includes programs like
crop insurance, SNAP benefits, and other
support for agriculture across the country,
lapsed this year because Republicans and
Democrats couldnt right-size spending in the
final product. Because of the importance of
the bill to Americas farming industry, its
likely that Congress will return to the drawing board once the brouhaha from Speaker
McCarthys removal cools down. Until then,
Kansan farmers will still have access to large
insurance programs, and SNAP benefits will
still be available to those who qualify both
because theyre present elsewhere in the federal budget. But, many other, niche programs
in the countrys agriculture or conservation
portfolio are currently on hold.
But there needs to be a concerted bipartisan effort to fix the issue that held up this
years bill: managing the budget. Across generations, the farm bill is one of the places
in which bipartisan isnt a punchline. That
doesnt mean the bill is necessarily good
KANSAS COMMENTARY
GANON EVANS, KANSAS POLICY INSTITUTE
or bad but just that it usually gets done
regardless of which party holds which lever
of power.
Many Democrats dropped support of this
years Farm Bill out of disagreement with
Republicans pushing for more work requirements for SNAP recipients. Republicans
pushed back, calling to reduce SNAP which
currently consists of 76% of the roughly $428
billion spent through the 2018 legislation.
With SNAPs portion of the 2023 Farm Bill
estimated to grow to 84%, Republicans are
right there have to be new measures to
keep costs controlled and protect the neediest
Americans.
Farm Bill Reform
Legislators in favor of right-sizing have
the right idea: If the bill is going to benefit
farmers in the long-run, lawmakers must trim
the fat. But merely reducing SNAP benefits
wont solve the broader problem of the bills
inefficiency. Its not just excessive benefits,
but the loopholes allowing high-income agribusiness to take advantage of the Farm Bills
subsidies that have truly driven spending out
of control. Rather than eliminating specific
programs, lawmakers must work together to
eliminate the bills inefficiency, tightening
requirements throughout to reduce financial
mismanagement and waste.
According to a report from the American
Enterprise Institute, 20% of the largest farms
in the country receive 80% of federal subsidies to purchase crop insurance. There are
no caps and eligibility restrictions on these
subsidies, with some millionaires and billionaires racking in federal cash. A loophole
in the Farm Bill extends subsidies to family
members engaged in farming: $125,000 in subsidies can be given out if a family member
has one simple call with another about what
to plant. This has resulted in almost 20,000
farmers receiving $18.5 billion in subsidies
over the last 37 years.
The surest way to remove waste from the
bill would be to add new eligibility requirements and caps for subsidies and crop insurance that prevent the wealthiest farmers from
exploiting the funding. Only 30% of farms
grow crops eligible for the current subsidies,

Enough political pieties we need more artillery shells
No matter how much wed like to believe
in the inevitably of human progress and the

of Great Power conflict.

expensive.

national priority to use every lever of government and the private sector to bolster the
defense-industrial base in all its aspects.

RICH LOWRY, King Features Syndicate
about this at least as much as incentivizing
the production of electric vehicles most people dont want to buy.
We arent being asked, by the way, to fight
a three-front war in Europe, the Middle East
and Asia ourselves. No, the call is simply to
provide arms to allies under attack or threat.
If we cant do that, what does it say about our
status as the worlds preeminent power?
In Ukraine, the hopes of Moscow for a lightning victory and of the West for a sweepingly successful Ukraine counteroffensive both
appear to have come a cropper. Now, its a
grinding artillery war.
Ukraine is estimated to need 1.5 million
shells a year, and has been firing as many as
6,000 a day. Russia was firing even more at the
peak of its offensive.
The U.S. had supplied 2 million artillery shells to Ukraine as of July, and has
been scrounging around — along with other
Western powers — to feed whatever supplies it
can find into the maw of the war.
Its not that we have been completely
asleep. The U.S. was making 14,500 shells a
month at the beginning of 2023, and has roughly doubled that. We hope to get to 100,000 a
month in 2025. Still, highly sanctioned Russia
is more proficient at producing shells.
If we cant supply Ukraine, what if we
become embroiled in a major war with China?
War games conducted by the Center for
Strategic and International Studies have the
U.S. firing 5,000 long-range missiles in the
first weeks of war, instantly depleting our
stocks. According to CSIS, the U.S. would
expend all its Long-Range Anti-Ship Missiles
within the first week of a conflict — when it
requires almost two years to manufacture one
of the missiles.
We are also in the bizarre position of being
dependent on our potential enemy for the
materials wed need in a war with that enemy.
China has a dominant position in the market
for rare earth metals — so important to the
production of high-end weapons — and is the
world leader in cast products.
There is no easy way out of the hole weve
dug ourselves. It will require more spending
on defense; more reliable, long-term contracts
for the production of key weapons; a focus on
securing the supply chain necessary to the
production of high-tech munitions; and assistance to manufacturers in training workers,
among other things.
The history of empires and nations that
dont mind the need for up-to-date weapons at
the scale necessary to defeat or deter adversaries isnt a happy one. Its in our power to
avoid this fate — if we have the will and dont
waste more time.

HISTORY
Weather wreaks havoc on final Cattle Chat: Building a sustainable beef herd
day of the KAA Fall Field Event
Day 3 – Sept. 24, 2023
The last day of the KAA Fall
Field Event. This day started
off with a BANG. Everyone in
our motel was awakened early
this morning by the roaring of
thunder and the rattling of windows as a terrific storm passed
through. Torrential rain, small
hail and 60 mph wind gusts.
I got up and looked out my
window and all I could see was
white swirling sheets of rain
and hear small hail pinging
against my window panes.
I got ready and went and ate
breakfast at the motel and then
drove down to Crawford State
Park to check in. The water
had been across the highway
in several areas, including the
entrance road to the Park. It
was reported we had received
5 1/2 of rain.
It was decided since it was
so wet and muddy that we
wouldnt do anymore metal
detecting. There was a little
bit of work to be done on the
old CCC grounds, mapping
in areas we had detected and
packing up to go home.
Some of us were told we
could go home if we wanted.
After saying my goodbyes, I
departed for home. Just about
3 miles east of Bronson, Ks., I
came upon a car-deer accident.

The remainder of the trip
was uneventful and I arrived

By Lisa Moser, K-State Research
and Extension news service
MANHATTAN, Kan.
When building a business,
many will agree it is important to incorporate management
practices with long-term goals
in mind.
In much the same way, many
cow-calf operators are looking
for ways to make their herds
economically and environmentally sustainable, said the
Kansas State University Beef
Cattle Institute experts speaking on a recent Cattle Chat podcast. Joining in the discussion
was Bob Weaber, K-State beef
cattle geneticist and head of the
Eastern Kansas Research and
Extension Center.
By improving the efficiency of the cow herd we can
make dramatic improvements
in greenhouse gas emission,
Weaber said. Producers that
are focused on resource allo-
cation and efficiency often
capture energy in a way that
yields more profitability for
their operation.
K-State beef cattle nutritionist Phillip Lancaster agreed
with Weaber and added, When
we make the conversion of forage to calf more efficient, we
are improving our sustainability and we are decreasing
the amount of greenhouse gas
emitted per unit of product.
The experts agree that there
are tools that cow-calf producers can leverage when looking
to improve the stayability of
cows in the herd.
One of those that has gained
recent attention is a product
recently approved by the U.S.
Food and Drug Administration
that can be used to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions, said
K-State veterinarian Brian
Lubbers.
Now that there is a process
for approval through the FDA,
I expect there will be more
non-genetic tools available in
the near future for those who
are focused on sustainability,
Lubbers said.
Along with that, Weaber
said that some beef breed associations are using data to help
producers meet their operational goals.
A number of breed associations publish a sustained fertility or stayability EPD, but
the reality is while those are
important genetic evaluations,
its a lowly heritable trait,
Weaber said.
He added: We can make
meaningful
improvement
genetically but it also means
that management and environment play a disproportionately
larger role in how long a cow
lasts in the herd.
Weaber said the cows need
to match their environment in
loopholes. Other measures
like reducing fraud, overhead
program administrative costs,
and other factors all add up to
save billions of dollars.
SNAP historically has
struggled with sending money
to efficient work training programs. After the 2014 Farm
Bill, only two of ten pilot programs reported increased
employment. Similarly, states
can exploit work requirement
waivers from SNAP: Half of
able-bodied adults without
dependents receiving SNAP
live in areas whose work
requirements are waived due
to high unemployment. This
waiver originally intended
to deal with economic downturns, but has a self-fulfilling
effect of making areas with
high unemployment due to
poor economic conditions
exempt from work requirements for their welfare, creating a dependency.
When explaining how
he froze tuition at Purdue
University for 11 years,
Former Indiana Governor
Mitch Daniels described a
budget like a marbled piece of
meat: Theres fat everywhere
and its a matter of cutting
off waste wherever that exists.
This analogy is perfect for
what needs to happen with the
Farm Bill. There needs to be a
bipartisan consensus that yes,
there is room to operate more
efficiently.
While the Farm Bill is a
federal problem, the same
issue of right-sizing spending
is one that Kansas legislators
face every year. The story of
tax reform in Kansas is one
of petty politics and disagreement standing in the way of
everyday citizens receiving
help.
As it is now, the Farm Bill
offers subsidies for millionaires and faulty implementation of welfare that captures
those beyond the truly needy.
Only in rightsizing the Farm
Bill can it be made to benefit
ordinary people from the farm
to the grocery store.

not to mention many of them
arent receiving subsidies or
subsidies to the scale of the
biggest recipients. Reforming
eligibility
requirements
to account for a farms size
would allow that money to go
towards more crops at a time,
and to farms that truly need
the help.
Apart from these needed
amendments, there is room
to improve SNAPs efficiency and reduce waste without
affecting the services it provides to 42 million people.
Since 2019, the USDA has
advocated for the categorical eligibility provision that
creates SNAP eligibility if
a person also qualifies for
other welfare programs such
as Temporary Assistance for
Needy Families (TANF) or
State Maintenance-of-Effort
(MOE) funds. This drastically
increases the number of people
who can receive SNAP, often
beyond the truly needy. A
case in point is one Minnesota
millionaire who enrolled into
SNAP to demonstrate the

Institutes Sandlian Center for

terms of mature cow size and
metabolic efficiency. He also
said that they need to be balanced in their lactation.
The other measure that
producers need to account for,
according to K-State veterinarian Bob Larson, is reproduction.
By using the tools of breeding soundness exams, pregnancy checking and body condition evaluations, producers
should have a herd with a high
percentage of cows exposed to
bulls that raise a healthy calf to
weaning. And that is reproductive efficiency, Larson said.

Fall traditions should include casting City of Garnett announces
new Parks & Rec Director
your ballot on local elections
Greg Doering, Kansas Farm
Bureau
Fall harvest is in full swing
on our central Kansas farm.
Despite the smattering of
golden triangles fluttering in
my yard, theres still plenty
of green leaves shimmering
from the cottonwoods in my
neighborhood. Normally by
mid-October these giant trees
have shed the majority of their
leaves and the ones left have
turned a pale yellow. Of course,
aside from narrowly missing
our first frost, there havent
been too many days that have
felt like fall recently.
Soon enough though, the
cottonwoods and other trees
will turn color and drop their
leaves. Ill have to get out the
rake to clean up the yard and
dust off the ladder to unclog
gutters. Despite its late appearance, fall is coming and so is
the work it brings.
This realization hit me
recently because another fall
tradition managed to sneak
up on me: local elections.
Somehow advance voting starts
this week. It seems like the candidate filing deadline was just
yesterday, but Election Day on
Nov. 7 is almost here.
I know these local contests
that determine who will serve
on school boards and fill city
council seats dont garner the
attention of state and federal
elections. Despite the lack of a
spotlight, these races are more
important to your daily life
than any other elected position.
Local officials decide what
roads get built and fixed, how
money is spent for schools,
what types of buildings can be
built (and where they can be
built) and how to support local
businesses and incentivize
growth.
The reason most of these
decisions are made at the local
level is because you know your
community better than anyone
else. Thats why its vital need
to pay attention to who is running and give your support to
candidates who understand the
challenges facing your community.
Voting in any election is a
crucial part of upholding your
civic duty, but casting a ballot
is the easy part. Your primary
job is to identify the candidates
who can best represent your
beliefs. Sometimes its not difficult to find those candidates,
while in some races you have
to do your research.
Either way, those who volunteer for these unpaid positions
deserve our gratitude. Theyre
signing up for the thankless
job of spending their evenings
making decisions for the entire
community, often with few peo-

Viking XC boys win substate
GIRARD – The physically and
mentally grueling season
of cross country is winding
down and the Central Heights
Vikings still have all of their
goals in front of them after the
boys won the 2A Regional at
Girard on Saturday and the
girls also qualified a pair of
runners for State.
Survive and advance. That
was the goal of the day for the
Vikings on Saturday.
We have several State qualifiers as a result, Viking head
coach Troy Prosser stated.
In the first race of the day,
Emma Cubits (19:44) 2nd
place finish was her second
fastest race of the season and
put enough distance between
herself and third that she was
able to ease through the final
stretch. Coach Prosser believes
Melaney Chrisjohn ran her
most complete race of the year
and showed a lot of patience
making all of the right moves
at the right times, resulting in
a 5th place finish with a time of
21:11.
Also running the the girls
team were Arabella Dunbar
(23:50, 28th), Landry Sparks
(24:16, 29th) and Sky DyersonFritchman (25:40, 38th).
The girls team had an outside chance of qualifying and
fell seven points short but still
put together what was collectively a very solid effort.
In a very unforgiving sport,
sometimes things just don't go
your way but considering how
many of them battled through
adversity at various stages of
the season, Im proud of how
they met those challenges and
they should be grateful for each
other, Prosser said.
The boys entered as a team
favorite, finished first and got
through what was an unseasonably hot race. The competition
both individually and as teams
was tight and challenging and
the end result was mostly what
the Vikings wanted.
Cody Hammond (16:32, 3rd
place), Connor Burkdoll (16:45,
4th), Owen Miller (16:50, 5th)
and Christian McCord (17:22,
8th) all finished in the top 10.
The trio of Brylan Sommer
(18:25, 18th), Stetson Miller
(18:39, 22nd) and Hunter
Johnson (19:12, 29th) continue
to run well also.
Cody, Connor and Owen
have been a great trio all season long and Christian is now
pulling himself closer to that
pack late in the season, added
Prosser.
Sommer made the biggest
improvement of anyone and
finished off the scoring for the
Vikings with his best overall
race this year.
With one more week
remaining in the season, all
of the blood, sweat and tears
will be tested once again and
this time the absolute best in
class 2A will be lined up together at Wamego next Saturday,
Prosser concluded.
The girls will run at 10:35
a.m. and the boys will be at
12:20 p.m.
Coach Prosser wanted to
add one more thought, I do
have to thank all of the supporters we had who traveled
several hours south to cheer
the teams on. No matter where
I ended up on the course, there
were Central Heights shirts
on family members, friends,
and former athletes from the
program. Hopefully they know
how much they are appreciated.
Crest Lancer girls cross
country sub-state champs
WICHITA – The Crest Lancers
finished with 3 girls in the top
8 overall which propelled them
to back-to-back sub-state championships after winning it a
year ago as well.
Josie Walter (20:25) paced
the Lady Lancers with a 3rd
place finish.
Peyton Schmidt (22:19) finished 5th and Aubrey Allen
(22:41) finished in 8th.
Kaylee Allen (24:16) finished
just outside the top 20 in 21st
place.
Not to be outdone was
Gunner Ellington (19:08).
He finished in 6th place for
the boys to stamp a birth to
the championship meet on
Saturday.
Elijay Taylor (20:31) and
Ryan West (23:29) finished in
20th and 47th position.
The 1A boys race will start
Saturday morning at 11:10 a.m.
and the girls will run at 12:55
p.m.
Bulldog XC shut out of State
COUNCIL GROVE – The
Anderson County Bulldogs
will not be sending anyone to
the state meet next week after
failing to qualify on Saturday
in Council Grove.
The top finisher on the day
was Grant Nienstedt (19:10) in
26th place.
Brodie Wiesner (19:18, 29th)
and Brody Barnes (19:25, 32nd)
werent far behind.
Also placing in the top 50
were Landon Kraft (19:32, 36th)
and Bo Johnston (19:49, 43rd).
Zykin Velvick (22:06) and
Easton Wettstein (23:02) finished in 79th and 88th respectively.
For the Lady Bulldogs,
Addie Fudge (24:00, 39th) and
Kassie Mains (24:57, 49th) both
found themselves inside the
top 50.
The duo of Whitney Wight
(26:13, 56th) and Emma
Bauman (26:54, 61st) finished
just a couple of minutes behind
their teammates.

Bulldogs close regular
season with home defeat
GARNETT Prairie View
spoiled Senior Night for the
Anderson County Bulldogs
and capped the season with
another
disappointing
defeat to end the regular
season as AC lost 48-13.
The Bulldogs seized the
momentum first breaking
lose for a 61 yard touchdown
scamper in the first quarter
to take an early 6-0 lead.
Prairie View would
answer with a Gabe Murillo
6-yard touchdown run of
their own and tack on the
conversion for an 8-6 lead
after the first quarter.
It would be all PV
Buffaloes the rest of the
way.
The only points in the
second quarter was a 28
yard Parker Schwarz run to
put the Bulldogs behind 16-6
at intermission.
Schwarz was just getting
warmed up. He would go
on to add two more touchdowns in the third quarter.
One a 26 yard run and then
score from the defensive
side returning an interception for a score for a 32-6
lead heading into the fourth.
Josh Goodwin would get
into the action for Prairie
View with a 7 yard touchdown run to open the fourth
quarter.
Schwarz would then
break free for another
touchdown, this one for
24 yards out to put Prairie
View up 48-6 in the fourth
before the Bulldog's Preston
Kueser scored on a 53 yard
run late in the game.
Bulldog
quarterback
Kueser would complete 5 of
11 passes for just 16 yards
and an interception on the
night. Kueser added 58
yards and a touchdown on
the ground.
Camryn Wilson led the
Bulldogs with 77 yards on
9 rushes and Trey Clark
toted the ball 12 times for 49
yards.
Defensively AJ Schaffer
led AC with 12 tackles on the
night.
Prairie View would only
throw one pass on the night,
it was incomplete, but they
would dominate on the
ground with 391 yards rushing on just 41 carries.
Murillo had 162 yards
on 15 carries and scored a
touchdown.
Schwarz finished the
game with 111 yards on just
9 carries and 3 touchdowns.
Anderson County finished the regular season
1-7 and 0-4 in district play,
missing the playoffs, so will
close out the regular season
with a consolation game at
Galena (0-8) on Thursday
night.
FREDONIA – The Anderson
County Lady Bulldogs put
themselves in position for
a state birth pulling off one
upset before dropping the
substate
championship
in two sets to top-seeded
Neodesha.
The Bulldogs (24-10)
entered play on Saturday in
Fredonia as the #3 seed and
took care of business in the
opening round knocking off
the host school in two sets,
25-12 & 25-12.
Following their round
one win, AC had to square
off against #2 seed Humboldt
(31-8). After dropping the
first set 24-26, the Lady
Bulldogs rallied to win the
final two sets 25-12 and 25-13
to advance to the championship game.
Neodesha (35-3) was the
top seed in the tournament
and dominated all day winning all 4 sets with ease.
Unfortunately for AC,
Neodesha continued to play
well and overwhelmed the
Bulldogs in straight sets
25-12 and 25-10 to end their
season.

stand strong in support of our
democratic allies in Israel and
reject all forms of terrorism
and antisemitism.
The same sort of letter about
a week ago by several Harvard
University student organizations prompted a severe backlash, with CEOs of several
companies promising not to
hire members of those organizations and even rescinding job
offers.
Opposition to Israel not the
first controversial statement
by GTAC
This is not the first time
GTAC has issued such inflammatory statements on its website.
In September of 2021,
just days after the disastrous U.S. withdrawal from
Afghanistan, then-KU Student
Body President Niya McAdoo
retweeted a post stating happy
Friday everybody. Death to
America, from the official
student body president Twitter
(now X) account.
Predictably, McAdoo faced
backlash for such a statement,
both locally, and at the national
level.
GTAC jumped in to support
of McAdoo and with their
own anti-American statements
and support for the Taliban.
This statement expresses GTACs solidarity with
KU Student Body President
Niya McAdoo who has faced
racist and misogynistic abuse
MORAN – The Crest Lady
Lancers record breaking season ended with a loss to Olpe
in the substate championship
leaving them short of their
goal, but it doesnt diminish
what they have accomplished
on the season.
After a first round bye, the
Lancers beat Marmaton Valley
in their first match 25-16 and
25-22.
They played well and did
not make it very easy on us,
head coach Abigail Hermreck
said about the win.
In the championship match,
the Lancers fought hard, but
lost to Olpe 25-14 in the first set.
We made some adjustments
and took the floor for the second set, Hermreck stated. We
got down in the beginning, but
found a way to get our offense
going and put together several
points in a row to push for the
win.
The Lancers won the second
set, 25-20.
Crest was hoping to ride that
momentum to a championship,
but Olpe would have other
plans.
It was really exciting
and the gym was so loud,
Hermreck said of the atmosphere. The bench did an outstanding job cheering on the
girls on the court. Our crowd
was amazing! It was an awesome moment to be in.
In the final set, Olpe just
seized control and finished off
Crest in the final set, 25-12.
We were unable to keep
the momentum and keep our
offense going, Hermreck said.
Obviously Coach Hermreck
was dissappointed that the
girls couldnt pull out the win
but was proud that her girls
never gave up and left everything on the court.
Hermreck concluded with,
I am beyond proud of the Lady
Lancers volleyball team for
their hard work and dedication, but above all, their character and how they represented
Crest the entire season. An outstanding group of individuals
that put others first on and off
the court. I do not have the
words to express how much I
enjoyed the season!
In all other aspects, it was
still a great season finishing
with a team record 28 wins and
8 losses on the year.
Kayla Hermreck led the way
with 28 kills, 13 assists, 11 digs,
served 15/16 at 94% with 1 ace.
Brooklynn Jones had 15
digs, served 13/16 at 81% with
2 ace serves.
Karlee Boots had 11 kills, 23
digs, and served 8/8 at 100%
with 2 ace serves.
Cursten Allen had 3 digs and
led the team with 86% serve
receive passing.
Kinley Edgerton had 7 kills,
26 assists, 19 digs, 1 block, and
served 24/26 at 92% with 4 ace
serves.
Aylee Beckmon had 1 kill,
1 assist, 21 digs, 1 block, and
served 14/15 at 93% with 1 ace
serve.
Kaelin Nilges had 2 kills, 9
digs, and served 16/17 at 94%
with 1 ace serve.
Crest hammered by Lebo
to end regular season
CREST – The Crest Lancers
(4-4) will be looking to turn
things around heading into the
post-season as they have now
lost 3 of their last 4 after a 60-12
loss at home on Friday night
against Lebo (5-3).
The teams are heading in
the different directions with
the playoffs looming this week.
It was the 5th straight win for
Lebo after opening the season
with 3 consecutive losses.
Crest will play their playoff
opener at Canton-Galva (7-1) on
Friday, October 27th with the
kickoff at 6 p.m.
The winner will play on
Friday, November 3, against
either Frankfort (6-2) or St.
JohnsTipton Catholic (2-6).
PITTSBURG – It was a dominant performance by top-seeded St. Marys Colgan (29-11) in
the opening round win over
the Vikings in straight sets 25-6
and 25-9.
St. Marys Colgan would go
on to advance to State with
wins in the second round over
Northeast High School and
then in the sub-state championship over Erie High School.

VIOLENCE…
of Israel and the current
Palestinian territories.
The statement goes on to
decry apartheid, and racist
violence before quoting an
explicitly Marxist philosopher
whose work is widely used in
teacher education, in order to
blame Israel for the attacks.
We encourage our members to educate themselves
on and teach about the apartheid of Palestine, which is a
direct result of racist violence,
including both the forced displacement of Palestinians from
their land and the forced displacement of Jewish people
from Europe, the statement
reads. We must remember
Paulo Freires Pedagogy of the
Oppressed where he explains,
With the establishment of
oppression, violence has
already begun. Never in history has violence been initiated
by the oppressed. How could
they be the initiator, if they
themselves are the result of violence?
Kansas Speaker of the House
Dan Hawkins (R-Wichita),
strongly condemned the letter.
Its disturbing and heartbreaking to see this sort of radicalism and antisemitism at one
of our Kansas universities, he
said in an emailed statement.
Support of terrorism should
have no place at our public universities. In light of the recent
terror attacks on Israel, its
increasingly important that we
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, October 24, 2023
as a result of a retweet containing the message Death
to America, the statement
reads, and unlike the most
recent statement, it does not
list an author. GTAC unequivocally supports both McAdoos
right to free speech and the
statement itself. We want to
acknowledge the broad historical context of this statement
and consider the KU administrations pattern of communication and priorities over the
past few weeks that serve the
same violent project.
The statement goes on to
liken the war in Afghanistan to
the Trail of Tears, and explicitly calls the U.S. mission in the
war-torn nation imperialism.
We mourn both the murders and injuries of all those
subjected to imperialism,
including U.S. veterans,
Afghan veterans, and the hundreds of thousands of Afghan
civilians, the statement reads.
While the KU administration
defines this conjuncture as an
unsatisfying end, GTAC and
the labor movement always
look favorably upon the conclusion of illegal warfare. We
express solidarity with the
Afghan labor movement, and
we support their struggle to
again establish self-determined
politics.
What Afghan labor movement the post refers to is not
clear, as there have been and
are no active trade unions in
Afghanistan.
KU Chancellor Douglas
Girod called McAdoos post
disappointing and concerning while acknowledging her
First Amendment right to her
opinion.
This, however, was not good
enough for GTAC which goes
on to explain the ambiguity
of language and accuse Girod
of being complicit with the
widespread misogynistic and
anti-Black violence President
McAdoo has faced in response
to the post, and continues on
to say GTAC is outraged by the
collusion of university administration with fascist rhetoric
and media. Alongside countless KU student and worker
organizations, GTAC demands
accountability for the legacies
of colonialism and slavery here
on campus. The Sentinel has
not found any evidence of actual violence against McAdoo,
though many of the responses
to her tweet were arguably racist or misogynistic.
What legacy of slavery
there is in Lawrence, which
was sacked by Quantrils
Raiders, during the civil war
who were fighting for the
Confederacy, or in Kansas in
general which was at the forefront of abolition, with fighting starting years before the
Civil War officially started, is
as unclear as what fascist rhetoric the university may have
employed.

Kansas State horticulture What to do with those falling leaves and pumpkin seeds?
expert shares tips to make
pumpkins last longer
much shorter shelf-life, sometimes only a few days to a
week before noticeable rotting
occurs.
Domenghini suggests these
steps to help preserve carved
pumpkins:
Clean out the inside thoroughly, removing all seeds and
loose string.
Soak the inside of the pumpkin
in a 10% bleach-water solution
for several hours.
Avoid using a real candle inside
the pumpkin since the heat will
speed up rotting.
Pumpkins have a high water
concentration, so if theres a
freeze in the forecast, bring
your jack-o-lanterns inside,
Domenghini said.
Domenghini and her colleagues in K-State's Department
of Horticulture and Natural
Resources produce a weekly
Horticulture Newsletter with
tips for maintaining home
landscapes and gardens. The
newsletter is available to view
online or can be delivered by
email each week.
Interested persons can also
send their garden and yard-related questions to Domenghini

MANHATTAN, Kan. Fall
decorating isnt complete
without pumpkins, but they
can rot quickly. Kansas State
University horticulture expert
Cynthia Domenghini said
selecting the right pumpkin is
key.
When selecting pumpkins
for your home, check for maturity by pressing your thumbnail into the rind, Domenghini
said. If the rind is hard and
sounds hollow when thumped,
it was likely harvested at maturity. Pumpkins that are soft or
havent developed a solid color
will rot more quickly.
Pumpkins harvested at
maturity have a waxy coating
that protects them from drying
out, she said. She also suggests
creating an artificial coating
using spray wax, which may
help prolong the pumpkins
life.
Harvested pumpkins last
longer if they are kept cool,
which isnt always a possibility when displayed outdoors
during our extended summer
weather days, Domenghini
said.

MANHATTAN,
Kan.
Beautiful fall leaves have begun
to cover lawns and will continue
to fall throughout November.
Kansas State University horticulture expert Ward Upham
said its important to remove
leaves from home lawns.
Although a scattering of
leaves wont harm the lawn,
excessive cover prevents sunlight from reaching turfgrass
plants, Upham said. Turf left
in this state for an extended
period will be unable to make
the carbohydrates needed to
carry it through the winter.
According to Upham, there
are a few different options for
handling fallen leaves, including composting, directly incorporating them into gardens, and
mulching.
Incorporating leaves directly
into gardens is an easy method
of making good use of leaves. To
do so:
Use a lawn mower to chop
and collect leaves into a bagging
attachment.
Transport leaves to the garden or flower bed and apply a 2-3
inch layer.
Till the leaves into the soil
after spreading.
Repeat the process every
two weeks until the weather is
too cold or soil is too wet.
Another easy and effective
option is mulching by mowing
the leaves with a mulching
mower and letting the shredded
leaves filter into the turf canopy.
Mulching will be the most
effective if done often enough
that leaf litter doesnt become
thick, Upham said.
Roasting Pumpkin Seeds
Pumpkins are the perfect fall
decoration and could be put to
even more use this season by
roasting their seeds for a delicious snack.
Consider roasting seeds
before freezing temperatures
destroy the pumpkin fruit,
Upham said, adding some ideas
on how to roast the seeds at
home:
Cut open the pumpkin and
remove the seeds and stringy
material.
Wash seeds and toss with oil
before roasting.
After seasoning, spread the
seeds on a cookie sheet and
roast for about 25 minutes at 325
degrees Fahrenheit.
Roast time can vary depend-
ing on seed size and moisture
content.
Seeds are done when they
turn golden brown.
Flavor can be enhanced by
adding a sprinkling of salt to the
oiled seeds, Upham said.
Upham and his colleagues
in K-States Department of
Horticulture and Natural
Resources produce a weekly
Horticulture Newsletter with
tips for maintaining home landscapes. The newsletter is available to view online or can be
delivered by email each week.

Kansas 4-Hers prep for new year
MANHATTAN, Kan. Just
weeks removed from the Kansas
State Fair, there may seem to be
a lull in 4-H activities for many
Kansas youth.
Actually, the fun is just beginning.
Amy Sollock, a Kansas 4-H
youth development specialist in
the southwest region, said a new
4-H year kicked off in October
and youth have some important decisions to make regarding
which projects they will pursue
over the next 12 months.
Weve got 45 project areas,
so theres something for everybody, Sollock said. Some
kids naturally gravitate toward
things theyre already interested
in. Or sometimes theyll pick
something theyve never heard
of, but it sounds exciting. And
sometimes people pick things
because a friend had a good time
in it, or they know somebody
who knows a lot about that and
they want to learn with someone.
Animal sciences, baking,
creative arts, photography, livestockSollock said information
on all of the projects available
to Kansas 4-Hers is available
online. State 4-H officials
have even published a Project
Selection Guide, and each project area has its own web page
to give in-depth details on the
types of activities and commitment that is required.
Other projects, she added,
have very little expense
involved, but still come with
a given amount of time and
energy that needs to be given
throughout the coming year.
Youth are encouraged to
select more than one project
area for the year, Sollock said.
How many, she adds, is up to the
family and the amount of time
they can dedicate over the next
12 months.
Registration for the new
Kansas 4-H year is now available online. Interested persons
can also get more information
about 4-H at their local extension office.
