Document insufficient
to stop globalism by
curtailing zoning, city says
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT A group of city residents led by a city commission
candidate on Tuesday night
told city commissioners they
feared the trickle-down influence of global politics manifesting in local city policy. But
city officials said the document
they submitted in an attempt to
stave off that broad influence
had no actual legal authority to
accomplish its goals.
Mark Powls, who will contest Mayor Jason Sheahan on
the November ballot, submitted a broad-based resolution to
commissioners basically prioritizing individual property
rights above all other city regulatory policy, and attempted
to rescind most general city
zoning authority and enforcement measures. The resolution
was mailed to numerous city
residents prior to the meeting,
Powls said.
Powls and other members of
the Anderson County Property
Rights Coalition warned of
influence seeping into national, state and local policy and
regulations aimed at transitioning individual property
ownership from private hands
and into collective ownership.
Globalization and international connectivity since World
War II has prompted a number
of such concerns and opposition efforts in various countries, particularly among political conservatives. Examples
include attempts to institute
so-called Green Energy mandates on fossil fuels through the
Kyoto Protocol of 1997 and the
2015 Paris Agreement. Former
President Donald Trump cancelled U.S. participation in the
Paris Agreement in 2017, but
President Joe Biden rejoined
the accord by executive order
in 2021.
Powls said fears of such
influence inspired the resolution; the gist of whose language
aimed to subvert most planning and zoning regulations
and enforcement currently in
place in Garnett.
Were not trying to be
adversarial to the commission, Powls said. We really
are begging the commission to
help make people feel like they
actually own their property.
We do not own our property
any more.
Powls recounted a number
of local examples of what he
characterized as government
overreach regarding local
property rights, including
a project he partnered in to
rebuild a downtown building
a decade ago and start a business there an effort he said
ultimately failed due to cost
overruns from having to meet
overarching city construction
codes.
City attorney Terry Solander
countered that Powls document had no legal standing
because it was too broad and
would have no legal weight,
even if approved, to repeal
the many various aspects it
sought to overturn. Many of
those authorities dealt with
zoning, which Solander said
by law were enacted through
the public hearing process and
the planning and the appointed
zoning commission of the city,
which had legal authority in
Kansas over such issues.
By its very language, it
says its a proclamation,
Solander said. The document
is not drafted in such a way as
to accomplish any of the things
it seeks to accomplish.
Powls maintained the imporSEE ZONING ON PAGE 3

Low rates, but
jobs switch
Most counties work
forces employed, jobs
go from private to public
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
TOPEKA Counties in the
region continued to enjoy low
unemployment rates in August
while the state of Kansas
overall lost both private and
public sector jobs, according
to a report from the Kansas
Department of Labor.
The percentage of unemployed members of the states
workforce was 2.7 percent in
August, steady from 2.7 the
prior month and 2.8 a year ago.
Of Kansas 2.93 million residents, those actively employed
or seeking employment is
about 1.5 million.
By far most of that labor force
is now gainfully employed, in
an economy which has seen
a veritable labor shortage
since the Covid pandemic of
2020 thats commanded higher
wages and more creative staffing measures among the states
employers. But Kansas managed to lose an estimated 4,100
non-farm jobs in the month of
August (both government and
private employment) as those
jobs either disappeared or were
moved to other states or outside the U.S. Kansas shows a
net loss of 2,700 private sector
jobs for the first seven months
of 2023, but added about 5,000

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
TOPEKA A hearing set by
state officials next week may
finalize a rate hike request
by Evergy that will affect vast
swaths of Kansas electrical
customers including those in
Anderson County.
Late last week the parties in the Evergy rate case
filed a unanimous settlement
agreement with the Kansas
Corporation Commission covering all issues in the case,
mercial, educational, and
environmental interests.
The Commission still needs
to evaluate the proposed settlement, and may approve,
reject, or modify the agreement, which in a nutshell
reduces the utilitys requested
revenue increase by nearly
60 percent. When it all washes out, the plan is estimated to raise the monthly electric payment of most homes
in Evergys central Kansas
region by $4.64 per month,
while dropping monthly average costs in Kansas City metro
households by more than $6.
Evergy services most of the
Anderson County area and
is the wholesale electric provider to the City of Garnetts
municipal utility and several regional electric co-ops as
well.
The Commission will
conduct its hearing on the
settlement agreement on
Monday, October 9, 2023 at its
Topeka office. The hearing
will be livestreamed on the
Commissions YouTube channel. Limited public seating
will also be available in the
hearing room. At the hearing,
Commissioners will have an
opportunity to hear from parties witnesses and ask questions before deciding whether
or not to approve the agreement. A Commission order is
due by December 21, 2023.
In its rate increase application, Evergy sought a net revenue increase of $204 million
(9.77% increase) for Evergy
Kansas Central (formerly
Westar) and a net revenue
increase of $14 million (1.95%
increase) for Evergy Kansas
Metro (formerly KCP&L).
Under the settlement agreement, Evergy Kansas Central
would receive a net revenue
increase of $74 million (3.54%

I dont think the legal precedent has any standing here,

complaints and concerns from
residents regarding property

While a number of residents

commissioners all rules arent

In Revelation 22:3 we read the
following text. No longer will
there be any curse. The throne
of God and of the Lamb will be
in the city and his servants will
serve him. This is a rather
broad description of what our
days in heaven will look like. It
was always Gods plan to have
man tend the Garden of Eden. In
Genesis 1:15 we read, The LORD
God took the man and put him in
the Garden of Eden to work it and
to take care of it. So we know
that God has plans for us to serve
him in this capacity. Throughout
the Bible worship of God is referenced. In fact most of the prophets, those who spoke the word
of God to the people, spent their
entire lives representing God to
the people. So we see service and
worship as two important components of our heavenly existence.
One of the things people struggle with is what does God want
me to do for him, what is his will
for my life. They then immediately start accessing their weakness
and eliminating those things they
have determined they cant do.
People say I cant serve God Im
to something, fill in the words
yourself. Really, thank goodness
God still serves you and I because
thats the only reason we woke
up this morning. God kept us
breathing all night. You and I
have no idea what God does for
WEEKLY DEVOTIONAL
BY DAVID BILDERBACK
us. This God you are ignoring
and offering excuses to is your
creator and sustainer. We have
lost our way here.We believe God
should serve us. REALLY, think
about that in light of the previous
paragraph.
As far as worship we like to
think we can check that box off
after church on Sunday. Christ
died for the church which makes
church of the utmost importance,
however, what about your lifestyle outside of church. If our life
looks like everyone elses, again
we have lost our way. If you live
a Christian life Monday through
Saturday I guarantee you will
receive respect for it. It is in
that respect that God is glorified.
In the end glorifying God is the
purpose for our earthly life, again
for emphasis.
GLORIFYING
GOD IS THE REASON FOR OUR
EARTHLY EXISTENCE. Not glorifying ourselves.

OPINION
Kansas spending on Medicaid spikes,
even without Kellys expansion plans
Recently Kansas Governor Laura Kelly
began a statewide tour in which she announced
Medicaid expansion as her top priority for the
upcoming legislative year. Expansion only adds
coverage for childless, able-bodied adults, and
there are other ways for them to get coverage
without burdening taxpayers with additional
costs.
There are opportunities for the uninsured to
get access to medical insurance through existing programs at the state and federal levels.
Traditional Medicaid still exists. The Federal
Exchange through ObamaCare offers a tax credit
for people whose incomes are at most four times
the federal poverty level. Private insurance is
still available to many uninsured Kansans currently; at the federal poverty level, the Federal
Exchange would still
apply.

sands of more able-bodied adults into the system. In Montana, for
instance, original estimates of enrollment were at 59,000. But today,
the total amount of enrollees is 125,034. There
are more able-bodied adults enrolled than children enrolled there. From 2015 to 2022, the state
spending on Medicaid has gone from $1.1 billion
to 2.3 billion and continues to take a larger share
of their budget.
After all of this, Medicaid patients wait longer
KANSAS COMMENTARY
DAVE TRABERT, KANSAS POLICY INSTITUTE
and are less likely to successfully schedule primary care appointments than private insurance
holders.
Proponents of Medicaid expansion point to
the fact that the federal government pays the
lions share of the cost as a reason to expand. But
this falls short for two reasons. For one, Kansans
pay their federal income taxes too: though its at
a much larger scale, it still would be an increase
in spending and cost for them. Thats not even
considering the absolute glut of federal debt
and the interest growing on it. Additionally,
Congress can reduce the 90% reimbursement
rate at any time. The federal government pays
about 60% of Medicaid costs in Kansas currently.
In 2022, the Kansas Health Institute estimated
that the 10-year cost of Medicaid expansion at
$320 million. But at any point, the federal government could place the total 10-year cost of $13
billion in for the state budget to absorb and walk
away.
Expand advocates often say that expansion
will save rural hospitals, but the data shows
that not to be true. According to a 2019 study by
Moodys, once macroeconomic factors and other
industry-wide effects on hospitals are factored
in, hospitals in expansion states are not financially stronger than in non-expansion states.
Medicaid expansion opens the door for significantly increased costs with questionable
returns for Kansans.

Policy Institute, a conservative think tank based

Did anyone else happen to catch a picture in
the Iola Register of a school board member who
wanted nothing to do with our school for 20 plus
years now trying to convince us that we need
to spend $6 million on a new facility? I wonder
what the opinion is of the school board member
who homeschools the majority of his children
and sends another out of district to get their education? Or how about the superintendent who
draws two overpriced salaries out of the taxpayers pockets but lives in a completely different
district? Whether the bond issues passes or
fails, these are all questions that the taxpayers
of USD 479 should ask themselves before voting
yes or no.
Ive heard several people in this town talk about
Polls will be polls, but Biden still plummets
Recently, ABC News and the Washington
Post released a poll showing former President
Donald Trump with a commanding 10-point
lead over President Joe Biden in the 2024 presidential election.
The Washington Post was clearly embarrassed by its poll, and scrambled to come
up with reasons readers should ignore it.
Democrat analyst Larry Sabato, who confidently predicted Hillary Clinton would
win 352 electoral votes in 2016 (she received
227 in her loss to Donald Trump), asked the
Washington Post, How could you even publish a poll so absurd on its face? Will be a
lingering embarrassment for you.
Other Democrats also composed panicked
posts for social media.
Now, on the one hand, like all polls, the
ABC News/Washington Post poll should be
viewed skeptically. Its the poll that had Biden
up 12 points in 2020, overestimating his support by eight points. The media outlets last
Wisconsin 2020 poll predicted Biden would
win by 17 points. In fact, he eked out a win by
seven-tenths of 1 percent.
The poll systematically privileges
Democrat candidates in dramatic fashion,
both nationally and at the state level. But that
just makes those recent results more frightening for Democrats.
Further, the Washington Post is clearly
sounding the alarm about Biden in particular.
It published David Ignatius dispatch from
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
MOLLIE HEMINGWAY, THE FEDERALIST
the Deep State telling Biden to get out of the
race and take the politically toxic Kamala
Harris with him. In case their perspective
wasnt clear, the left-wing propaganda outlet
followed it up two days later with a missive
from the deputy editorial page editor saying
much of the same.
The poll could be a legitimate snapshot of
public opinion or an attempt to shape public
opinion. But a wide range of other polls is also
showing Biden weakness. Josh Kraushaar
points out that President Bidens disapproval
rating is at 56 percent in multiple polls, dangerous territory for any incumbent.
Langer Research, which conducted the poll
for ABC News and the Washington Post, speculated that voters might be trying to send a
message about their frustration with Bidens
policies.
Susan Glasser, a left-wing writer for The
New Yorker, stumbled around this point in a
social media post venting her frustration that
Americans werent siding with Biden:
Take away the unhinged ranting about
insurrections and personal revenge and
note the underlying point: Biden and other
Democrats took a speedboat across the
Rubicon and had their main political opponent indicted four times in an attempt to
prevent his election, and its completely backfiring.
Democrat activists up and down the Eastern
Seaboard have indicted the former president
on an overwhelming number of charges, some
serious and the vast majority patently absurd.
In so doing, they violated norms kept by every
president up to Trump himself of not prosecuting defeated candidates.
Biden let his desire to target his top political opponent be known through an April 2022
story placed in The New York Times, these
days something of an in-house Democrat
newsletter. Democrats in New York, Atlanta,
and D.C. followed through. Its not just Jack
Smith, Fani Willis, and Alvin Bragg. As Chris
Bray reports, its also New York Attorney
General Letitia James, who campaigned on a
pledge to prosecute Trump:
Attorney General Letitia James is waging

SEE HEMINGWAY ON PAGE 9
Kamala is the second worst Democrat liability
Joe Biden made the worst vice-presidential
pick of the last 50 years
Poor Kamala Harris. The alleged misogyny
that is tearing at her vice presidency apparently extends to highly partisan Democratic
leaders such as Jamie Raskin and Nancy
Pelosi.
Both of them caused ripples when their
praise for Harris in recent TV interviews was
notably cool, as if they were at a high-end
fundraising dinner and hated the escargot but
had to try to convince the hostess that they
really loved it.
The Biden campaign reportedly contacted
both Raskin and Pelosi. The Maryland congressman revised his remarks to say that
Harris is unquestionably the best running
mate for President Biden in 2024, while the
former House Speakers office pointed to the
favorable things she said about Harris in her
initial interview.
What Raskin and Pelosi clearly know, if
they cant say it out loud, is that Joe Biden
botched his vice-presidential pick; it is the
worst pick in half a century and easily one of
the worst in the last 80 years.
As Democrats begin to realize Bidens political weakness, with Donald Trump barreling
down the pike, Harris is one of the factors
— although not the main one — keeping them
from doing anything about it.
What if someone did convince Biden to
step aside for the good of the party? Well,
that might open the way for Harris herself to
become the nominee. In other words, out of
the pan and into the fire.
Even if she lost in an open nominating process, itd be quite the spectacle for Democrats
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
RICH LOWRY, King Features Syndicate
to turn away a potentially historic presidential nominee for someone else.
So, shes at least playing a role in the
propping up of what may prove the weakest incumbent presidential candidate since
George H.W. Bush.
This isnt the only downside. Harris is
going to be an issue next year because everyone realizes theres a significant chance that
Biden wouldnt be able to serve out a full second term.
Typically, a vice presidents popularity
matters only for his or her own political ambitions; this time, it could make a difference in
the presidential race because her standing is,
in a word, abysmal.
In the new NBC News poll, the theme of
which is that Biden and Trump are both abidingly unpopular, Harris is right there with
them. At 31%, her positive rating is lower
than both of theirs, and her negative rating,
51%, is higher than Bidens.
The bar Biden needed to clear in his
vice-presidential pick wasnt high. He either
needed a political nonentity or a popular
entity who ideally had some governing credibility; instead, he went with the unpopular
nonentity.
How does this rank with prior bad choices?
As it happens (funny how this works), the most
maligned recent picks are all Republicans.
Lets run through them. Sarah Palin was
not suited to be president of the United States
but was a Hail Mary in a basically unwinnable race, so we should discount that pick for
inconsequence. Dick Cheney was a governing
choice who, despite all the obloquy heaped
on him, performed admirably. Dan Quayles
reputation was destroyed by the press, but he
didnt play into George H.W. Bushs fate one
way or the other.
I think to find a worse major-party pick -and actual vice president –you have to go back
to Spiro Agnew. At least, as far as we know,
Harris hasnt been taking kickbacks that will
force her to resign — in fact, she may be the relatively ethical half of the Biden-Harris ticket.
Prior to that, you probably have to go back
to Henry Wallace, whom Democrats thankfully dumped in 1944 after he served one term as
FDRs vice president. Wallaces views on the
Soviet Union were criminally naive and disqualifying for any high official of the United
States.
Wherever you rank Kamala Harris, theres
no doubt that shes a poor selection that
Democrats will almost certainly have to tolerate because of an ideological trap of their own
making.

how unfriendly we are in this town. I never

I think we are becoming unfriendly and unsociable. If we want to keep this town going lets
be kind to one another.

to their safety and well being are and its not

Good citizen of Garnett. As the fall season
rolls around, let us try to be respectul of others and clean our leaves occasionally. It just
shows good citizenship.
If you have learned how to disagree without
being disagreeable, then you have discovered

I just got my latest town talk and yes, you are
right about Garnett having money problems.
Well, maybe if the Three Stooges at City

and Industry out of the town and county, we
wouldnt have the money problem.
It is the far left Democrat media that selectively edit video and audio to lie. Not showing the black officer on George Floyds back
only the white officer; not showing Floyd
screaming he could not breathe even before
he was restrained by police after having swallowed his lethal stash of fentanyl as police
approached; editing audio of Hispanic man
George Zimmerman leaving out the dispatcher asking him the race of Trayvon Martin,
only his answer that he was black; editing
video to hide the extent of his head injury
when he was attacked by Travon Martin,
who thought he was homosexual; editing
the video of the Covington children waiting
for their bus to not show that they were the
ones who were approached and accosted by
a creepy addled American Indian beating a
drum in their faces after Black supremacists
had shouted racial slurs and threats at them.
Since when is a diary any business of the FBI?
They have no right to raid journalists to find
out sources. And if that diary was not real,
why would the Biden Administration sick the
FBI on them? It fit Bidens history of sexual
predation, with videos showing him groping
women and girls, their complaints, exposing
himself to female secret service, the sexual
assault of Tara Reid with the contemporaneous CNN video of her mother calling in to
Larry King live about what happened to her
daughter.
With Senator Diane Feinsteins passing,
Democrats praise her for her efforts to restrict
your right to Armed self-defense. Dont forget
that during the Zebra killings when Nation
of Islam Black supremacists were suspected
and the racial killings of between 100 and
200 whites, many in the San Francisco area,
Diane Feinstein started carrying a firearm
herself.
I have a challenge. For 30 to 31 days, live on
$930 a month plus a few food stamps and pay
rent. Thats my challenge. Does anyone want
to take my challenge? I would like to see; and
there are a lot of people who dont even have
that much money. But thats my challenge.

Kansas Anthropological
Association Annual Fall
Field Event.
I just returned from attending this event held September
22-24, 2023 held in the Crawford
State Park, Crawford County,
Kansas. This was a fieldwork
opportunity sponsored by
the Kansas State Historical
Society (KSHS) and the
Kansas
Anthropological
Association (KAA).
This project involved two
sites. Camp Farlington and a
Civil War military encampment. Camp Farlington was
a Civilian Conservation
Corps (CCC) camp for the
788th Company. This camp
was occupied during the
1930s and its workers were
involved in construction of
Crawford State Lake.
On the other hand, very little documentation exists about
the military encampment,
which is in extreme danger of
being eroded away by a nearby stream. We do know that a
detachment of men sent from
Ft. Scott during the Civil War
were encamped there to protect the old Railroad Bridge.
We also know there are at
least four rock remnants of
buildings left there to this
day. There is no known map
of this encampment, therefore
its almost impossible to know
the usage of these buildings.
There is now a nice walking
trail, known as the Spider
Leg Bridge Trail thru this
area.
If my memory serves me
well, I will try to share with
you my daily assignments and
activities of the day.
On Thursday mid-afternoon I left home for the
Crawford County State Park,
arriving there at 4:10 p.m. I
reported to the park office,
where I purchased park passes for the next three days.
I then proceeded to drive
back to Fort Scott, Ks where
I checked into the Budgetel
Inn,which is where I would
be staying for the next three
nights. It was very nice, clean
and very reasonable.
The reason I went down
early was so I wouldnt have
to make a very early drive
down the first morning. Even
driving down in the afternoon
I saw four deer crossing the
highway.
In my next column I will
share my experiences while
attending this event.

FNS Awards grant to the Kansas Department
for Children and Families to enhance SNAP
DENVER, Sept. 29, 2023 The
Mountain Plains Regional
Office of USDAs Food and
Nutrition Service awarded
the Kansas Department for
Children and Families $706,550
to enhance efficiency and
access in the Supplemental
Nutrition Assistance Program,
also known as SNAP. The
Process and Technology
Improvement Grants Program,
supports efforts by the Kansas
Department for Children and
Families to improve the experience of SNAP participants
by enabling grantees to use
technology to streamline operations and provide better customer service.
We are excited to be able to
award Kansas with these grant
funds, said Cheryl Kennedy,
Mountain Plains Regional
Administrator, USDA Food
and Nutrition Service. FNS
is committed to strengthening
states ability to modernize
and operate the SNAP program
with a high degree of integrity,
and this grant is one of several
ways in which were partnering with states to reach that
goal.
The PTIGs demonstrate the
Biden-Harris Administrations
commitment to championing
fairness and equity in USDAs
service to program partici-
pants. Additionally, the grants
build on FNSs commitment to
modernizing programs, reducing administrative burdens,
and piloting new online tools
and technologies that can provide a simple, seamless, and
secure customer experience.
Previous grantees have used
PTIG funding to make SNAP
improvements such as making
mobile applications easier to
use, implementing live call centers, and creating automated
text messaging notifications
to remind households of key
actions required to maintain
benefits. Once awarded, grantees have three years to spend
the funds and complete their
projects.
We appreciate the opportunity to partner with the
Mountain Plains Regional
Office to further enhance our
SNAP customer service,
said Kansas Department
for Children and Families
Secretary Laura Howard. Part
of our mission is to strengthen families, so this grant will
ensure Kansans have better,
more equitable access to food
assistance benefits.
The Kansas Department for
Children and Families will use
the grant funds to automate
manual SNAP administrative
tasks using Robotic Process
Automation, including case
registration, data entry, and
creating workflow tasks for
caseworkers, thereby improving internal workflows.
The multi-year grants support efforts by state agencies
and their community-based
and faith-based partners to
develop and implement projects that use technology to
improve the quality and efficiency of SNAP application and
eligibility determination systems.
USDAs Food and Nutrition
Service works to end hunger
and improve food and nutrition security through a suite
of more than 16 nutrition assistance programs, such as the
school breakfast and lunch
programs, WIC and SNAP.
Together, these programs
serve 1 in 4 Americans over
the course of a year, promoting
consistent and equitable access
to healthy, safe, and affordable
food essential to optimal health
and well-being. FNS also provides science-based nutrition
recommendations through the
co-development of the Dietary

AC football loses thriller on the road
BALDWIN An exciting touchdown in the waning seconds
for Anderson County was all
for naught as Baldwin scored
with under a minute remaining to win 39-33.
Baldwin took the early lead
with a defensive score in the
first quarter on a 37 yard interception return for a touchdown
for a 6-0 lead and would not
trail the rest of the way despite
the game being in doubt up
until the final play.
The host team would take a
14-0 lead with a 10 yard touchdown run in the second quarter.
Finally the visitors would
mount a little spurt of their
own with 23 and 8 yard touchdown runs by Camryn Wilson
to cut the deficit to one, 14-13.
The momentum was shortlived though. Baldwin would
take the ensuing kickoff back
86 yards for a score to extend
their lead to 21-13.
Once again though, the
Bulldogs would answer shortly
before halftime on a 20 yard
run by Preston Kueser and following a failed two-point conversion trailed 21-19 heading
into the break.
The back and forth affair
would continue the remainder
of the way.
Baldwin would score the
only points of the third quarter on a 1-yard touchdown run
to stake themselves to a 27-19
advantage heading into the
fourth.
The fourth quarter saw big
play after big play by both
teams, but unfortunately
for the Bulldogs it would be
Baldwin that would come up
big in the final minute.
First AC would score on a 51
yard pass from Masten Wright
to Wilson.
Baldwin had an answer and
quickly as they would break
loose for an 80 yard touchdown
scamper to put them back up
33-25.
With two minutes left in the
game and the Bulldogs staring
at a 4th and 18 attempt from
the 38 yard-line, the odds were
stacked against them but the
trio of Masten Wright, Camryn
Wilson and Preston Kueser
came up with the play of the
year.
Kueser would complete
a pass to Wright and just as
Wright was getting pulled
down about a yard short of
the first down he lateraled the
ball to Wilson who would run
it in from 22 yards out for the
improbable touchdown and
following the conversion the
score was knotted at 33 apiece.
Baldwin kept their composure despite the deflating
touchdown and would march
down the field in just a minute and a half and score on a
12-yard touchdown run with
30 seconds left to take the lead
again, 39-33.
A last gasp attempt for a
miracle finish would come to
an end with the Bulldogs 2nd
interception and third turnover of the day near midfield
in the final seconds.
Wilson would finish the day
with 278 all-purpose yards and
4 touchdowns. Wilson would
haul in 5 passes for 175 yards
and 2 scores. He also ran the
ball 13 times for 73 yards and 2
more touchdowns.
The defense was led by
Quinton King. He finished with
9 tackles, 1 sack and 2 stops for
loss.
AC finishes fourth at Wellsville
Last Saturday the Bulldogs
didn't fare quite as well at the
Wellsville Invitational as they
did earlier in the week on
Senior Night.
They lost 3 of their 5 matches with their lone wins coming over Osawatomie and
West Franklin while suffering
defeats to Baldwin in pool play
and then both Pleasant Ridge
and Eudora in the tournament.
In pool play, Baldwin opened
their match with a hard fought
27-25 win to hold off a pesky
Bulldog group before winning
the second set 25-10.
Their two pool play wins
against Osawatomie (25-4-25-11)
and West Franklin (25-22, 25-16)
were two-set wins.
Then in the tournament,
Eudora had their hands full
in the opening set against AC
winning 29-27 but went on to
win the second set handily
25-13.
Seemingly the theme of the
day in their defeats was an
extra point opening set followed by a lopsided second
set and that happened against
Pleasant Ridge as well.
Pleasant Ridge held on for a
thrilling 30-28 win in the opening set of their win over AC
before dominating the second
set 25-9.
Vikings volleyball drop 2 at home
RICHMOND On Tuesday,
September 26, the Central
Heights Vikings came up short
of a victory after pulling off
a first set win in the opening
game as they would get swept
by Council Grove in the 2
games by dropping the last 4
sets the two teams played.
In has been a long season
for the Vikings but they continue to play hard despite
struggling in the win column.
Council Grove has had struggles of their own entering play
on Tuesday night with a 2-14
record before they doubled
their win total with a win in
game 1 (16-25, 25-12 & 25-13) and
in game 2 (25-11, 25-8).
In the opening 3-set loss, the
Vikings were led by Kaylor
Matile as she connected on
18 of 19 serves (94.4%) which
included 5 aces.
Defensively Sydney Evans
did her job with 20 assists and
10 digs to lead the team in both
categories.

Grove was in control throughout.
The Vikings only scored
5 times following their own
serve in the two sets.
Finishing just outside the
top 10 in 11th place was Regan
Witherspoon with a score of 91.
In 25th place was Rylee Hill
(108) and rounding out the golfers for AC was Hallie Munsey
in 44th place with a 146.
It was Adi Thompson of
Caney Valley with a score of 89
who took first on the afternoon.
Anderson County as a team
would finish in 6th place with
a score of 444.
The tops two teams on the
day were St Marys Colgan (390)
and Pittsburg just one stroke
behind at 391.
Lady Bulldog finishes 2nd at Spring Hill
SPRING HILL It was a solid
day on the golf course in Spring
Hill last Wednesday as the
trio of Lexi Overstreet, Regan
Witherspoon and Rylee Hill all
finished within the top 15.
Overstreet was 2nd and
finished the afternoon with a
score of 46. Witherspoon, 9th,
shot a 50 and Hill a 55, which
was good for 14th
Hallie Munsey finished the
day in 47th place, finishing the
afternoon with a 72.
The Bulldogs team score was
223. They were within striking
distance of the top two teams
as Bonner Springs finished the
day 9 strokes better at 214 and
Holton finished the day in 2nd
with a 217.
Vikings dominate home meet, runner
sets new school & course record
RICHMOND Not only did the
Central Heights Vikings boys
dominate their meet at home
last Thursday, Cody Hammond
broke both the course record
and school record in the process.
As a team, the Vikings had
29 points on the day, well in
front of second place Chanute
with 60 and third place West
Franklin with 80.
Hammond broke a long
standing school record which
was set by Greg Carey at the
1988 State Championship.
Careys time was 16:27.60,
Hammonds new record time
was 16:26.60.
Careys record came as the
Vikings won their first team
championship that 1998 season, which is something the
Vikings would love to repeat
this year.
Coach Troy Prosser believes
the best is yet to come, Cody
ran a very conservative race
until the last mile then took a
lead and never looked back.
What makes this feat even
more impressive to coach
Prosser is the course the record
came on. Another thing about
his record is that our course is
traditionally slower than a lot
of meets we attend.
Being familiar with the
course makes the home team
very comfortable with the difficult course, There are a lot of
technical challenges but he and
his teammates overcame them
all Prosser said. Simply put,
we are witnessing something
never seen in the nearly 60
years of Central Heights existence.
Owen Miller also crushed
the 17 minute barrier for the
first time clocking in at 16:50
with Connor Burkdoll only
four seconds off of his personal
best. Throw in solid races from
Christian McCord and Stetson
Miller and a personal record
from Hunter Johnson and we
now have our top six all under
the 19 minute mark. Brylan
Sommer gave the Vikings all
seven runners in the top 25.
Emma Cubit and Melaney
Chrisjohn are no strangers to
success on the course and they
both followed up last weekends
performances with resounding
season bests. Cubits 3rd place
and 20:24 now puts her within
earshot of the 20 minute milestone with Chrisjohn also taking nearly a full minute off
of her time in the past two
weeks as well. Landry Spraks,
Sky Fritchman and Arabella
Dunbar rounded out the girls
team which had a strong showing finishing third behind 3A
powerhouses West Franklin
and Prairie View.
The JV boys turned in a fun
finish for our home meet going
1-2-3-4-6-8 to nearly pull off a
golden finish (1st through 5th)
to go with their perfect team
score.
The middle schoolers
always do a great job leading
meets off and setting the tone
for their high school counterparts, Prosser said.
Six of them had personal
records with another season
best. All of them put their
hearts and souls into the race
and performed at a very high
level in front of what was easily 1,200+ people at the 18 team
invitational, Coach added.
Emma Cubit and Alex Skeek
were the two seniors who had
their last home meet of their
careers. Emma will go down
as one of, if not the top female
Cross Country runner in school
history. She also is looking to
finish off her seventh year in
spectacular fashion, Prosser
said, Alex has been such a
huge, positive influence on
everyone during his six years
that his contributions on and
off the course will be nearly
impossible to replace. Both of
them are near and dear to me
and I will fully enjoy the rest of
their ride this Fall.

County farmer and rancher
Fall harvest is in full swing
on our central Kansas farm.
Our dryland and irrigated
field corn has all been picked
and all thats left in those fields
are corn stalks and a lot of
dry organic material that was
kicked out the back end of a
combine.
The only corn remaining
in the middle of one of these
recently harvested fields is our
popcorn crop.
We baby our popcorn like no
other crop on our farm. It is
strategically planted in areas
near windbreaks that will hopefully help protect the plant from
the brutal winds we sometimes
experience. Its always planted
on irrigated acres to ensure it
gets the water it needs during
the growing season. It also
receives the most verbal affirmations and words of encouragement from me during the
growing season compared to
any of our other crops. And its
the crop that generally tests
my patience and my nerves the
most as harvest time is determined by a very narrow range
of moisture present within the
grain.
If field corn is cut a little
too wet, the elevator will pay a
little less for it and you move
on. If the popcorn is a little too
wet, the popcorn wont pop, thus
defeating the purpose of growing popcorn. Making sure we
harvest the popcorn within that
tiny window of acceptable moisture levels literally determines
whether or not we have popcorn
available for our customers for
the next year.
As we get closer to popcorn
harvest, I tend to worry about
a potential rain that could flood
the field. During my time on
the farm, we have had instances
where heavy rains have flooded,
shut the roads and flooded fields
of sorghum and field corn in
water so deep weve been able to
kayak in it.
The potential for a heavy
downpour in the fall always
enters my mind as we get closer
and closer to the popcorn harvest.
The potential threat of a flood
had me overlooking a more
obvious threat especially
with it being so dry out here:
fire. I was completely caught
off guard when we recently
received a phone call late one
night from a neighbor who had
noticed flames in a corn field.
He wanted to know if it was a
planned burn. It, in fact, was not
a planned burn!
Phone calls were made to 911
as my husband drove off to get a
tractor and disc while I drove off
to meet my father-in-law in the
field.
As I approached the popcorn
field, the growing glow ahead of
me confirmed we were not going
to be able to snuff out this fire
with a couple of shovels.
Soon sirens could be heard
in the distance coming down
our rural roads all enroute to
our location. Those emergency
trucks and water tankers and
even personal vehicles responding to the fire were all driven by volunteers. Its amazing
how quickly they all responded
and helped put out the fire
especially considering many of
them are coming from their own
farms located throughout the
countryside in every direction.
This team of volunteers
quickly drove through the field
and extinguished the flames
spreading through the corn
stalks. When it was all said and
done, the popcorn was spared
with the fire line just a few hundred feet away from the start of
the popcorn rows.
Im thankful for the willingness of these men and women
who serve their neighbors and
assist in times of emergencies
whether it be day or night.
This wasnt the first time weve
needed help from emergency
responders, and it probably
wont be the last time either. But
this event reaffirmed my appreciation for the helpers in our
community who are willing to
assist their fellow rural neighbors. Afterall, if we didnt have
these organized and trained volunteers available and willing to
help, who would?
They sacrifice their time and
resources at the drop of a hat
when an emergency call goes
out to help save or protect people and property.
Neighbors helping neighbors
its part of what makes rural
America such a special place.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, October 3, 2023
4-H WEEK
What is 4-H and how to join
4-H is a community of young people across Kansas engaged in learning leadership, citizenship, and life
skills. Caring adults that support
our programs are essential for youth
to achieve their potential based on
the guidance, respect, skills, knowledge, and wisdom adults can share.
4-H is a nationwide program. Each
of the four Hs of the clover represent
ways youth can grow and develop.
Head, critical thinking, problem-solving;
Heart, self-discipline, integrity,
communication;
Hands, serving others; and
Health, choosing healthy lifestyles.
Raising great kids is a challenging task, but its easier when you
have a team of people behind you.
4-H clubs are groups of families
that do just that. Through working
together, families share knowledge
and interests to help kids learn practical skills and important values.
4-H had its beginnings in rural
America, but it now serves youth
in urban and suburban, as well as
rural, communities. Kansas 4-H is
open to youth between the ages of 7
and 19. The new 4-H year starts in
October, so many prefer to join 4-H
at the start of the school year. 4-H
enrollment, however, is open yearround,
so youth can join any time. In order
to show at the County Fair, you must
be enrolled by May 1.
4-H clubs generally meet monthly.
These meetings give youth opportunities to share their project work
(speak), plan community service
activities, and practice running
meetings. They may have subclubs for individual projects, led
by adults or teens within the club.
For specialized projects like horses, many counties have county-wide
project clubs that operate in a similar fashion.

4H empowers young
people with the skills
to lead for a lifetime.
In 4H, we believe in the power of young
people. We see that every child has valuable
strengths and real influence to improve
the world around us. We are Americas
largest youth development organization
empowering nearly six million young people across the U.S. and over 70,000 youth in
Kansas with the skills to lead for a lifetime.
Its a research-based experience that
includes a mentor, a hands-on project, and a
meaningful leadership opportunity. Based
on their interests and guided by adult volunteers, youth develop their own pathway
in 4H. They select from a broad menu of
local 4H programs and projects. There are
hands-on, learn by doing, opportunities for
everyone.
Kansas 4-H is a vibrant youth development program for K-State Research and
Extension. In 4-H, we are committed to providing positive dynamic learning experiences for as many young people as possible.

Kansas 4-H officials estimate $20.8M
impact of volunteers in the state
By Pat Melgares, K-State Research and Extension news service
MANHATTAN, Kan. The numbers are staggering.
In 2022, the Kansas 4-H office reported a five-year average of 6,442
volunteers that have supported its youth programs, providing expert
guidance on such projects as sewing, shooting sports, livestock, rocketry
and nearly three dozen other pursuits.
Sarah Maass, director of the Kansas 4-H program, cited a study
reporting that volunteers donate an average nine hours per month, or an
estimated 695,736 hours annually to Kansas largest youth development
program.
Also in 2022, Independent Sector a coalition of nonprofits, foundations and corporate giving programs released findings indicating that
the value of one volunteer hour in the United States is $29.95
Doing the math, the annual contribution of volunteers to the Kansas
4-H program tops $20.8 million.
Recognizing that impact, the Kansas 4-H program joins in for National
Volunteer Week in April each year.
Statistics dont always bear out the passion of volunteers like Harlan,
who began as a project leader in the Hanover 4-H Club when his daughter wanted to participate in the photography project.
Three or four years later, I was asked to be a countywide project leader, he said. My wife, Annette, was co-leader with me and we continued
that until 2013. When the River Valley District was formed (in northcentral Kansas), all in that district were invited to our project meetings. In
1989, I joined the photography action team and am still a member of that
team today.
Ray Bartholomew of Hutchinson is the Reno County 4-H shooting
sports coordinator and has been the countywide project club leader for
27 years.
I have a passion for working with youth and providing the basics
of safety and fundamentals of the shooting sports disciplines, said
Bartholomew, who worked for the USDA Farm Service Agency for 38
years prior to retirement.
Bartholomew said he has obtained national Level II certification in
archery and coordinator, and state Level I certification in archery, coordinator, hunting skills, pistol, rifle and western heritage/cowboy action.
Prior to 4-H certification training, he said, I had limited background, particularly as it relates to competitive shooting events.
Bartholomew estimates he has volunteered more than 1,500
hours per year to Kansas 4-Hfor 23 years.
Harlans interest in photography was self-taught; he was asked
to take pictures for advertising as part of his job. As he became
involved in volunteering for 4-H, I expanded my knowledge of
photography to stay ahead of the youth.
Now, he adds, photography is one of my main hobbies.
Information on how to volunteer for Kansas 4-H is available at
local extension offices in Kansas, or by contacting the state 4-H
office at 785-532-5800.
Maass lauded Kansas volunteers, noting they add a tremendous amount of public value to our programs and the other organizations they serve.
From my perspective, the 4-H programs success is centered
around being able to recruit and retain qualified adult volunteers, Bartholomew said. With the vast variety of projects, no
one 4-H agent would be expected to have the skill set nor the time
to provide instruction and guidance for all projects.
Volunteers are key to expanding the impact of 4-H in the community.

political enemy, using governmental power in an attempt to
crush multiple generations of a
family that disagreed with her
about party politics. You can
win an election, sure, but then
your family starves, so.
While politics-addled leftwingers love what Democrats
are doing to their political
opponents, most Americans
are absolutely shocked and
appalled by what theyre witnessing. Its not just Trump
who is being targeted by the
regime, but other Republicans
and their grassroots supporters. Attacking the right to legal
representation, free speech, the
right to redress, and freedom
of the press is popular with
Democrats, yes, but horrifying
to many other Americans.
Are we the baddies? you
can see the few self-aware
Democrats asking.
The strategy of indicting
political opponents was supposed to help Democrats wage
political warfare in an environment where their policies have
led to open borders, endless
war, pro-crime district attorneys, and economic malaise.
These outcomes are exceedingly unpopular. On top of the
policy failures, theyre trying
to imprison their top political
opponent and keep him off the
ballot.
They rushed headlong into
the campaign strategy of indicting their political opponents
without realizing it would
be difficult to change course
if that backfired. They cant
very well drop the charges at
this point, but the more aggres-
sively they prosecute them, the
more it reminds Americans of
how absolutely reckless and
dangerous theyre being.
The Democrat proposal is
to vote for open borders, inflation increases, energy dependence, rampant crime, and
actual imprisonment of political opponents. In this light,
the polls arent so surprising.
Even people who dont love
Donald Trump, however much
they enjoyed his presidency, are saying they think its
Democrats who are the real
threat to the republic, and its
not even close.
