THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT The electronic
records system used to manage cases in Anderson County
District Court and much of the
rest of Kansas has now been
offline more than two weeks
due to a security breach, and
courts locally and across the
state have had to try to keep up
with their work volumes while
stepping back into hard-copy
paperwork of almost a decade
ago.
Anderson County District
Court staff said the system
breach had not affected the
courts ability to send emails
and faxes. But the still-unsolved security breach that
resulted in the shutdown of
the online court case management except for Johnson
County, which used its own
independent system halted
access for both attorneys, law
enforcement and the public
to online connections to the
Kansas Supreme Court, Court
of Appeals and local district
Member FDIC Since 1899
courts.
Court officials havent said
much as to the source of the disruption, but experts elsewhere
in the country have noted the
attack is similar to ransomware attacks in other states
over the past several years.
Kansas Judicial Branch
spokeswoman Lisa Taylor said
the Odyssey software is one
component in a collection that
makes up the states electronic court environment, but she
said the entire online access
system was currently down.
That includes accounts that
allow attorneys to file cases,
dockets for case scheduling,
access to online services for
marriage licenses and public
access to case records.
The system was down due to
a separate breach earlier this
summer.
We are treating this matter
with the highest priority, but
we dont yet know how soon our
information systems will be
back online, Taylor said. The
Kansas Bureau of Investigation
is investigating the breach,
and Taylor said the Office of
Judicial Administration will
cooperate fully with any probe.

GARNETT Well, we asked for
rain. And we got it in spades. And
then came the cold.
After bone-dry weeks of late
summer and early fall that parched
the corn and soybean crops locally
and turned some more shallow
stock ponds into damp spots, rain
came in abundance starting midweek and continued through the
weekend in Anderson County and
much of Eastern Kansas and
to make things even better, the
first real freeze threat of the year
arrived with the weekend rain as
well.
Rain started in the county
Tuesday and by the end of day
Wednesday some areas had reported as much as five inches. Some
areas of the county logged as much
as 6 inches since Tuesday evening.
Areas further north in
Franklin County got a heavier
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
TOPEKA A former Kincaid
man sentenced in June to nearly 25 years in prison on two
charges of rape of his 13 yearold stepdaughter has filed an
administrative motion
claiming
he received
inadequate
representation in the
case,
and
seeks
the
overturning
Foltz
of his sentence
and
new trial on the charges.
Caleb Foltz filed the motion
under Kansas Statute 60-1507,
a procedure which claims his
defense counsel was inadequate and prosecutorial procedure was improper in the lead
up to the plea agreement he
signed March 28.
The
Kansas
Attorney
Generals office assisted in
the prosecution and would be
responding to Foltzs motion,
according to Anderson County
Attorney Elizabeth Oliver. A
copy of Foltzs motion was not
immediately available when
the Review requested it from
the AGs office last week.
Forrest Lowery, the Ottawa
attorney who served as Foltzs
defense in the case, could not
be reached by telephone Friday

dose. The Ottawa Water Plant
reported more than 7 inches with
5.62 at the citys airport. Some listeners to KOFO Radio 1220 reported 9 to 11 inches.
Last weeks moisture came
after a year of general drought
left Anderson County with half as
much rain on average about 22
inches since the first of 2023 compared to the 40 inches the county
would regularly expect through
9 months. Spotty rains in some
areas in early and mid summer
bolstered some crops, but the general lack of moisture throughout
the year was apparent as many
corn and bean fields looked withered and some farmers took the
low pond levels as an opportunity to clean out and service those
ponds and dams.
The eastern third of the state
was even further off its rainfall

LGGPR makes donation, community foundation
kicks off drive to invest in Lake Garnett track
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT Even with bleary skies and
a chilly breeze for the weekend, the Lake
Garnett Grand Prix Revival notched one
of its highest-ever registrations the weekend of October 13 and set a record for new
participates with its 10th anniversary
event.
LGGPR Board Member Bo Harris said
the 2023 event had 100 first-time participants drivers who participated in any of
various vintage or modern performance
auto classes along with 262 total registrants for the three-day event.
We were very pleased and were excited that driving the event is catching on
with a lot of drivers who are anxious to
take their shot at this piece of racing history, Harris said.
Harris said the organization now goes
back into the planning stages for the 2024
event next October, and is investigating
options for grant funding and donations
to help with a road course improvement
project at the track. Garnett Community
Foundation director Helen Norman said
the GCF had secured a matching grant
that will double donations made to the
track improvement fund for all business
and individual contributions made by the
end of November 2023.
The lake track is the most trafficked
of all roads serving Garnett recreation
facilities, providing access to ball diamonds, shelter house and picnic areas,
campgrounds, shooting range, Knights
of Columbus Hall and golf course in addition to fishing and boating at the lake and
is also one of the access roads to Garnett
Elementary Center.
The track is also used for the annual
LGGPR and for enduro class go kart racing at least once per year.
That road gets really a ton of use with
all those activities, Norman said. And

Tips from a K-State veterinarian to keep your
pets safe and less stressed this Halloween
Susan Nelson, Kansas State
University veterinarian
MANHATTAN Halloween
is a day where some delight in
getting a fright, but don't let
the holiday's potential safety
hazards sneak up on your pets.
Susan Nelson, clinical
professor at the Veterinary
Health Center in the College
of Veterinary Medicine, has
some tips to help keep pets
safe.
Nelson suggests leaving pets
indoors before, during and a
few days after the holiday for
their safety.
"Cats, especially black
ones, are often sought after
with cruel intentions during
Halloween," Nelson said.
While trick-or-treaters are
knocking at the door, Nelson
advises keeping pets in a back
room with the TV turned on to
help block the noise caused by
doorbells and children.
"Be conscious of open doors,
as some animals might make
attempts to go outside," Nelson
said. "Make sure pets have
some form of identification,
such as microchips, collars
or tags. Reflective collars will
make it safer should the pets
get out, as it will make them
more visible."
Nelson suggests putting pet
costumes on before Halloween
to make sure the pet can see,
hear, breathe and move.
"When shopping for pet
Halloween costumes, be mindful of costumes that have loose
or small parts that could be
pulled off and ingested,"
Nelson said. "If your pet seems
distressed or allergic or shows
abnormal behavior with a costume, consider having it wear
a Halloween-themed bandana
instead or nothing at all if even
that causes distress."
For pets that have a love for
candy or decorations, Nelson
has some tricks to keep them
safe:
Keep all candy out of reach
to avoid accidental ingestion
of ingredients that can be toxic
to pets or injure/obstruct their
GI tracts. Examples of toxins
are chocolate, Xylitol an
artificial sweetener raisins
and some types of nuts.
Consider disconnecting
your doorbell or greeting trickor-treaters at the end of your
driveway, weather permitting,
if the sound of the bell upsets
your pet.
Be mindful that pets may
be frightened by one of their
familiar family members when
that person is disguised in a
costume. Acclimate them to
the sight ahead of time.
Keep your pet away from
electrical cords, candles and
decorations to avoid accidental
ingestion.
Throw away moldy pumpkins they can cause illness if
ingested.
Store glow sticks out of
reach; they taste bitter and can
cause drooling and agitation if
ingested.
If you suspect your pet has
ingested something toxic,
immediately call your veterinarian, the ASPCA Poison
Control Center at 888-426-4435
or the Pet Poison Helpline at
855-764-7661 for advice.
For more information,
contact the Kansas State
University Veterinary Health
Center at 785-532-5690.
Driving to end hunger
Glenn Brunkow, Pottawatomie
County farmer and rancher
Want to beat the Iowa State
Cyclones when they come to
town the end of November? If
you bleed purple, I bet you do.
This year you can personally be a part of that victory.
Yes, the Wildcats might be a
little short on the depth chart
at linebacker, but I think most
of our playing days are behind
us. I have also volunteered to
call plays in. Fortunately, our
coaches are much too smart for
that.
No, county Farm Bureaus,
Farm
Bureau
Financial
Services agents and Wildcat
fans have the opportunity to
work within their communities to gather food donations
and participate in a friendly
competition with other agents
and county Farm Bureaus
through the End Hunger Food
Drive sponsored by Kansas
Farm Bureau, Farm Bureau
Financial Services and K-State
athletics.
The food drive has already
started and will run until Nov.
15, and everyone who participates will be a winner in my
book. The counties and agents
bringing in the most donations
will receive tickets to the game
along with other prizes.
All of the donations will go
to local food pantries, helping
our friends and neighbors in
need. I am so proud of our organization for all the work we do
to feed those who do not have
enough. We all take great pride
in growing our abundant, safe,
healthy food supply and yet we
also want to make sure that
everyone has access to it, too.
We do need to get busy. You
can view participating counties by going to www.kfb.org
and search End Hunger Food
Drive to find drop off locations
or make a monetary donation.
After Nov. 16 nonperishable
food donations will be weighed
to determine the winners. Each
dollar will add a pound to the
total.
So here is the game plan.
Some of you go straight to the
grocery store and pick up some
extra boxes of macaroni and
cheese or cans of green beans
and some muffin mix, too. The
rest of you go deep and open up
your computer, go the webpage
and donate.

and discussion of A New
Generation of Veterans: Stories
from Iraq and Afghanistan, on
Saturday, November 4, 2023 at
10:30 a.m. in the Archer Room
of the Garnett City Library.
The wars in Iraq and
Afghanistan gave rise to a
new generation of veterans.
They challenged societys traditional notions of military
services and raised questions
about the role of the US in
global conflicts. Soldiers from
Kansas were some of the first
deployed to fight in Iraq and
Afghanistan. They returned
again and again, yet their stories remain largely untold.
Modern communication plat-
forms connected these veterans
to family and friends instantaneously but left little written
record for future generations.
This talk reviews key events
of Americas longest war to
date and discusses methods to
collect and share these stories
from American veterans

THOMPSON
FEBRUARY 15, 1936 – OCTOBER 25, 2023
Howard Thompson, age 87,
of Garnett, formerly of Kincaid,
passed away on Wednesday,
O c t o b e r
25, 2023, at
Anderson
C o u n t y
Hospital
Residential
Living Center
in Garnett.
Howard
Thompson
was born on
February
15, 1936, in
Selma, Kansas. He was the second of two sons born to John
Finley and Eula Ruth (Blunt)
Thompson. Howard attended
Selma Grade School and then
graduated from Kincaid High
School in 1954.
He was united in marriage to
Leila Welsh on May 29, 1955, at
the Methodist Church in Selma,
Kansas. To this union were
born three daughters and one
son.
In 1949 Howards father contracted polio, Howard was diagnosed with polio a few weeks
later. John was unfortunately
confined to a wheelchair for
the rest of his life. Howard was
fortunate for a quick diagnosis and he subsequently recovered after being sick for a few
months, so much so that he
was a stand out athlete in high
school. Howard and his older
brother, Wendell, took over the
farm responsibilities following
their fathers illness and they
continued to care for and provide for their parents for the
rest of their lives. Howard and
Wendell were the third generation to continue in the family
farm. They operated Thompson
Brothers Dairy until 1979,
when Howard formed Double
TT Farms with his son, Rick. In
1999, Howard retired from farming and moved to Garnett in
2001. Howard and Leila enjoyed
traveling in their RV and in
their retirement years they
were able to complete their goal
of visiting all fifty states. They
were also able to spend many
winters in Texas and Arizona,
avoiding the Kansas winters.
Howard was able to find a fishing spot at nearly all of the
stops. In his free time Howard
could often be found watching
sports on TV, while reading the
sports page AND listening to
something sports related on the
radio.
Howard was active on many
local boards and was generous
with his time supporting many
Kincaid area events and projects, serving on the Kincaid
Fair Board and the Kincaid
Lions Club. He also served two
terms as Anderson County
Commissioner and four terms
on the Kincaid School Board
and on the Crest Unified School
District Board. Howard was
a long time active member of
the Kincaid United Methodist
Church.
He was preceded in death
by his parents; his wife, Leila
Thompson
on
November
25, 2020; brother, Wendell on
October 26, 2008.
Howard is survived by three
daughters, Chardel Hastings
and Mark of Iola, Kansas;
Joleata Kent and Roger of
Garnett, Kansas; Janell Yelm
and Ronnie of Iola, Kansas;
one son, Rick Thompson and
Connie of Kincaid, Kansas;
twelve grandchildren; 25
great-grandchildren; and sister
in law, Karen Thompson of Iola,
Kansas.
Funeral services were
October 30, 2023, at the Kincaid
Selma Community Church in
Kincaid, Kansas. Burial followed in the Kincaid Cemetery.
Memorial contributions may
be made to the Kincaid-Selma
Community Church or Kincaid

June 20, 1931,
in Kincaid,
Gibson
Kansas. She
was the only

friend, Norma Lightbourn,
there. She enjoyed staying with
her Grandma B on the farm
and spending time with her
favorite cousin, Don.
Shirley graduated from

adding many children over
the years who also called her
mom. When she retired, she
loved traveling with Harley,
especially back to Nassau, or
to Florida to visit her granddaughter and family.
By far, Shirleys greatest joy
was her family. She loved nothing more than visiting them
or having everyone gather at
her house. One very special
tradition was on Thanksgiving
each year. In addition to the
traditional Thanksgiving meal,
that day was always reserved
for decorating every inch of
their house, inside and out, for
Christmas. Hanging lights on
the house and trying to keep
the little ones away from the
breakable ornaments on the
tree made for hours of laughter and fun, and Shirley loved
every minute.
After Harley passed away,
Shirley missed him terribly,
but kept busy with her family
and loved being in her cozy
MAY 22, 1942 – OCTOBER 26, 2023
home, until two years ago
when her health forced her
to move to Parkview Heights.
The move to the nursing home
meant that Shirleys family
expanded again, and she was
cared for and loved by everyone. They took such good care
of her, even helping her celebrate her love of the Chiefs and
Travis Kelce. They brought her
so many Kelce things, but the
best was the life-sized cutout
that watched over her in her
room. She lived every minute
of her 92 years to the fullest and
found something to be grateful
for in every single day. She will
be missed beyond measure.
Shirley was preceded in
death by her parents; by her
husband of 66 years, Harley on
August 17, 2015; by grandchildren Jason and Sheila Miller,
and Amy and Alishia Weldin;
and by her 15th great grandchild, Baby Rempel.
She is survived by her
four daughters, Susan Miller
of Garnett, Kansas, Denise
Cottenmyre and husband, John
of Emporia, Kansas, Diane
OMalley and husband, Gerry
of Westphalia, Kansas, Karen
Ledom and husband, John of
Lawrence, Kansas, and #5
daughter Diane Hermreck Hirt
of Waverly, Kansas. She is also
survived by grandchildren
Jesi Maley and family, Connor
Cottenmyre, Kent Cottenmyre,
Angela Ingram and family,
Kevin Weldin and family, Dylan

Bethany Rempel and husband
Morgan, and Margaret Ledom.
She is also survived by 14 great
grandchildren.

Neither in the world or the church
The church is a local assembly of believers as well as the
redeemed of all ages who follow
Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord.
In the four gospels of the New
Testament the term church is
found only in Matthew 16:18 and
18:17. The inauguration of the
kingdom takes place in Acts 1:9
when Jesus is taken up before
their very eyes (the disciples)
and a cloud hid him from their
sight. Because the church general will not become a reality until
after Christs return, the greatest
emphasis in the New Testament
is placed upon the idea of the local
church.
Speaking to the disciples after
his resurrection, Jesus commissioned the church to make disciples and teach them what he had
taught. (Matt. 28:16) The entire
Book of Acts is the story of the
early churchs struggle to be loyal
to his commission. The church
is to be in the world, however if
the world gets into the church
the church soon becomes just
another entity or organization.
The fruits of the Spirit, love, joy,
peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and
self control, all signs of a life lived
for Christ are soon replaced with
the worldly treasures of convenience, personal preference and
tradition. James refers to this as
being double-minded, clearly not
WEEKLY DEVOTIONAL
BY DAVID BILDERBACK
committed to the church or the
world.
In Acts 4:32 Luke describes the
believers as , one in heart and
mind. How did the early church
achieve this unity?
Having
walked with Jesus for three years
the disciples took that experience and the visible presence of
Jesus and taught the people. In
Acts 2 we read they were indwelt
with the Holy Spirit. Through
the power of the Holy Spirit God
enabled these disciples to be salt
and light to a dark world. How do
we do this today? Well the local
church better be Biblical. Its pastor and leaders better be Biblical.
If this is the case the Holy Spirit
can work in that atmosphere. It
is the moving of the Spirit that
changes hearts. If you want to
change a man you must change
his heart. Without that you have
a man who is doomed to fail
because as James says he is double-minded.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, October 31, 2023
OPINION
The really, really, really bad U.S. border
After two-and-half years of raising the alarm
on the wide-open southern border and continually saying that things will get worse, the
truth is far worse than even we imagined. The
fiscal year 2023 numbers under President Joe
Biden have been released and the numbers are
astonishing and the failure to secure our nation
frightening.
As expected, the Department of Homeland
Security (DHS), once again, released the numbers at the end of the work week in an attempt
to bury the news. DHS Secretary Alejandro
Mayorkas tried to escape scrutiny by releasing
the numbers on a Saturday.
The administration has never done this
before.

American people.
Americans life at risk.
Its a dangerous game
that has allowed our
adversaries to penetrate
our weak border security.
We strongly believe that these numbers are no
accident. This crisis is not because of mismanagement or incompetence. It is by design.
The administrations open borders policy has
caused a tsunami of unintended consequences.
The growing number of people crossing illegally
into the nation has overwhelmed the Border
Patrol and it has caused a majority of Border
Agents, somewhere between 70-90%, to be pulled
off patrol to deal with the humanitarian crisis.
Weve seen the examples of the Biden administrations epic failure over the past three years.
Anyone who goes to the border can see it if they
travel to the major illegal alien crossing points.
GUEST EDITORIAL
SARA CARTER, FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR
It begins in the early morning hours as smugglers move in hundreds of people forcing Border
Patrol agents to be pulled from the front lines.
They are then moved to process the overcrowded stations, leaving hundreds of miles without a
single agent on patrol.
The criminal cartels of Mexico have operational control of our borders, and they decide
what crosses and when. They send large groups
to overwhelm agents. The lack of security along
these major gaps opens the gateway for fentanyl
and other narco-trafficking.
These failures are also known to terrorist
organizations and adversarial nations. There is
a high probability that terrorists have slipped
through without being encountered by Border
Patrol or other law enforcement agencies.
There is nothing redeeming about Bidens
open-border policy. The American people are
the losers in his scheme of lies. The numbers
tell the truth and the stories of victims on both
sides of the border should be sufficient to return
to Trump era policies.
This should be a bi-partisan issue, so the
question remains, what is the purpose for leaving our national security exposed? We need to
demand that the Biden administration answer
these questions and be held responsible if, or
more likely when, our enemies use the border to
target the American people.

Homan former acting director of Immigration
and Customs Enforcement (ICE) during the

So Joe Biden now wants to turn his campaign
away from his failed Bidenomicss to run as a War

and helped to create? This is the ticket that will

Achievement gap widens for Kansas black, poor students
Minorities and low-income students are
falling further behind despite Kansas taxpayers giving school districts $3.8 billion in
at-risk funding since 2015 to improve outcomes and close achievement gaps on the
state assessment.
At the same time, many school districts
implemented diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) training, theoretically, to improve
minority outcomes and close achievement
gaps. Sadly, those gaps also expanded.
There are four levels of state assessment
scores. Level 1 is below grade level, Level 2
is at grade level but needs remedial training,
and Levels 3 and 4 are proficient. Measuring
trends in achievement gaps with three moving variables is difficult, so we convert outcomes to a single score.
We apply zero points to Below Grade Level,
two points for At Grade Level, and four points
for Proficient. The scores are weighted according to the share of students in each category,
as shown in this example. Two points times
35 percent (At Grade Level) is a score of 0.70,
plus four points times 30 percent (Proficient)
produces a composite score of 1.90.
The math composite scores for low-income
students and those who are not low-income
for each year the current state assessment has
been administered have more students below
grade level now than in 2015, and proficiency
is one point lower for both groups. The shares
of students at grade level declined in both
cases, but that can be good or bad; achieve-
KANSAS COMMENTARY
DAVE TRABERT, KANSAS POLICY INSTITUTE
ment declined if students moved to the below
grade level category, but moving to proficient
is an improvement. The composite score
methodology puts achievement gaps into a
context that is easier to see.
Low-income students had a 1.70 composite
score in 2015, compared to 2.60 for other students, putting the achievement gap at 0.90.
Now, the gap is wider at 1.02, with low-income
students falling to a 1.44 composite and the
other group at 2.46.
The gap was wider in 2019 (pre-COVID).
Results for 2023 are still below pre-pandemic
levels, and the gap increased again.
Income-based achievement gaps have gotten worse since 2015.
The income-based gap for English Language
Arts is also a little worse than in 2015 and 2019.
School funding has dramatically increased
since 2015, which school officials often claimed
was needed to close achievement gaps, but
just spending more hasnt made a difference.
Some education officials believe minority
students have lower outcomes because they
dont feel included and have devoted a lot
of time and money to diversity, equity, and
inclusion (DEI) initiatives, but that also has
not worked.
USD 512 Shawnee Mission is preoccupied
with DEI. It permeates the districts strategic
plan (that only gives lip service to improving
outcomes). The Shawnee Mission board was
an early adopter of Corwin Publishings Deep
Equity training, which is based on critical
race theory.
Corwins Deep Equity program is based on
the work of Gary Howard, who believes White
people are collectively bound and unavoidably complicit in the arrangements of dominance that have systematically favored our
racial group over others.
The premise of Deep Equity is that minority student achievement is suppressed by
White privilege. Corwin says, The dynamics
of privilege and power must be confronted to
impact real change, and students cultural
realities and experiences must be at the center of the teaching and learning process.
Yet achievement gaps for Black students
are worse, as math outcomes for Black stuSEE TRABERT ON PAGE 7
Why was Donald Trump so good at handling our enemies?
Luck is the residue of design, they say.
Might it also be the residue of frightening and
confusing foreign adversaries?
Donald Trumps relatively crisis-free presidency in foreign affairs has created a sense,
perhaps an accurate one, that he cowed enemies into not challenging the U.S.
As Sen. Tom Cotton has pointed out, Kabul
didnt collapse on Trumps watch, Russia
didnt invade Ukraine and Hamas didnt
launch a historic terror attack on Israel.
Now this may have just been good fortune.
Four years isnt a large sample size. But the
argument that adversaries feared him, and
therefore acted with a measure of restraint, is
quite intuitive.
No one is going to mistake Trump for
Cardinal Richelieu or Henry Kissinger. His
view of the world was highly personal and
reflected a few obsessions, especially the
notion that we were getting ripped off by foreigners. His trade war with China was a waste
of time, and his commitment to NATO was
genuinely in doubt.
Yet, despite the feeling of chaos created
by his constant shoot-from-the-hip bombast,
things basically stayed on the rails.
The fact that Trump was erratic and took
perceived slights so seriously made it difficult
to know how he would react to any given
provocation. It was personal unpredictability
elevated to the level of game theory.
Maybe he was just blustering. Maybe he
was ready to take it further. But who would
want to find out?
In other words, Trump spoke loudly and
carried a stick of indeterminate size, and this
was perhaps as good as carrying a big stick.
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
RICH LOWRY, King Features Syndicate
Its worth noting, though, that he followed
through on his promise to bomb ISIS into
near-oblivion, and when given the chance to
hit a committed enemy of the United States,
the notorious Iranian operative Qasem
Soleimani, he targeted him for killing despite
the considerable risks.
The New York Times reported at the time:
After initially rejecting the Suleimani
option on Dec. 28 and authorizing airstrikes
on an Iranian-backed Shiite militia group
instead, a few days later Mr. Trump watched,
fuming, as television reports showed Iranianbacked attacks on the American Embassy in
Baghdad, according to Defense Department
and administration officials.
By late Thursday, the president had gone
for the extreme option. Top Pentagon officials
were stunned.
If U.S. officials were stunned, how must
anyone around the world with American
blood on his hands have felt? And wouldnt
it have made adversaries think twice about
doing anything to set the president to fuming?
In an interview with Bret Baier back in
June, Trump made vague reference to a threat
he issued to Vladimir Putin about a prospective invasion of Ukraine that supposedly
stayed Putins hand. Who knows the accuracy
of this? But Trump characterized Putin as
believing his threat only about 10%, and that
gets at what was probably a key element of
the Trump deterrent effect — a nagging sense
that he might not be bluffing, even if it seemed
likely he was.
We saw this dynamic out in public regarding immigration policy south of the border.
Trump rattled the cage of the countries he
needed cooperation from until he got it.
He threatened to close the border with
Mexico. If they dont stop them, Trump said
of illegal immigrants, we are closing the border. Well close it. And well keep it closed for
a long time. Im not playing games. Actually,
he was playing games, but effective ones.
He really did cut off aid to Northern
Triangle countries, before restoring it once he
had what he wanted.
In short, when Trump says that Hamas
wouldnt have done this on his watch, many
Republicans, and perhaps independents in a
general election, will tend to believe him.
To his credit, Biden has said the appropriate things in the wake of the Hamas attack,
but sentiments go only so far. A more important question is whether the right people fear
President Biden as they appeared to be scared
of his predecessor.

at the school, maybe you need to look at the
quality of education that is offered there. I

I am surprised at the selfish, ignorant, skinflint
comments coming from some of your callers
about the Crest bond issue. Some apparently
dont know students coming to the district
from outside the district are doing so because
the quality of eduction is higher. Nor do they
realize each student that comes in to the district brings X amount of state aid to the
district per the state funding formula. So much
ignorance, only concerned with their precious
dollar and not kids. You should be ashamed.
It takes a special kind of stupidity, ignorance
or pure evil to be voting for todays Democrat
party that controls all our major institutions.

themselves are guilty of tenfold. The movie

To mention a few things we can thank unions
for, a fringe program, higher and fair wages,
40 hour week, 8-hour day, workmans comp,
employee-based healthcare, safer working conditions, pension plans, helped end child labor.
Research shows that growth of union jobs
correlates to higher wages for workers and
also strengthens the middle class and grows
the economy at large. These are a few reasons
why Trump hates organized unions and tries to
eliminate them.
If you have children at home, I have a question. Do you look at their phone periodically?
Because I saw a young girl with her phone the
other day and her mother said who you talking
to and she said its none of your business and
the mother took the phone from her and the
girl threw a fit. Im guessing whatever you
were doing on your phone, if you dont want
your parents to see then you must be doing
something wrong. Im just curious thank you.
It was such a sight driving to the cemetery to a
loved ones burial and see the city trucks and
employees lined up. What a show of respect.
Thank you.
On the Crest bond issue its actually a 10
million dollar Bond, not six. A half million
dollars will be due every year for 20 years. The
board has failed to tell the public that theres
state money available involving a lease purchase, which only a month ago board members
claimed not to know anything about a lease
purchase. FEMA money up to about half of the
storm shelter will be available if our superintendent would just call neighboring schools
and find out how to do that. The administrator
would rather pay a consultant 7% rather than
do his job.

This column will have a new
twist, however, it still will contain history.
Lets talk volleyball. The
game of volleyball was invented in 1895 by William G.
Morgan, a physical education
instructor at the YMCA in
Holyoke, Massachusetts. The
very first ball was the inflated
bladder of a worn-out basketball.
Did you know the GarnettAnderson County High School
has had a Girls Volleyball
Team since 1972, 51 years?
Donna Kimmel was the very
first coach and only four other
coachs have followed her in the
51 years.
Did any of you attend any of
the 2023 Varsity Girls volleyball games? If you didnt you
really missed out on seeing
some very talented and dedicated young ladies in action.
I dont mean to slight the
Freshman and Junior Varsity
players for their super play as
well, but for this column Im
dwelling on the Varsity girls.
So if you should happen to see
any of these girls, please thank

FOLTZ…
Lancers season ends with
lopsided defeat in opening round
FROM PAGE 1
CANTON – The Crest Lancers
season came to an abrupt
halt with a disappointing 56-8
defeat in the opening round of
the 8-man DII State Football
Championship playoffs.
Canton (8-1) will move on
to face Frankfort High School
(7-2) on Friday, November 3.
for comment.
Foltz was arrested in
December 2020 when his wife
observed activities between
him and her 13 year-old daughter at the home they shared,
and subsequently reported the
incident to law enforcement.
Court documents said Foltz
later admitted to a relationship
with the girl that began with
horseplay and later became
sexual over a period of months.
Kansas law sets the age of
consent for sexual relations at
16 years. An adult in Kansas
commits the crime of rape if he
or she has relations with someone under the age of 14.
The Lancers finished their
season 4-5 following the defeat.
It was feast or famine all
year for the offense of the
Lancers.
Their offense averaged 64
points per game in their 4 wins
and just 9.2 points per game in
their 5 losses.

Pictured is the Crest girls cross country team that finished as 1A State Runner-Ups on Saturday in
Wamego. Pictured, from left: Aubrey Allen, Josie Walter, Coach Kaitlyn Cummings, Peyton Schmidt and
Kaylee Allen.
Crest girls state runner-ups in cross country
WAMEGO – As all the teams
fought cold, dreary weather conditions, the Crest Lady
Lancers cross country team finished with 2 runners in the top
10 to help pave the way to a 2nd
place team finish overall.
On Saturday at the 1A State
Cross Country in Wamego, the
squads saw weather unlike
anything they have all season
as the temperatures were near
freezing when the races took
place and peaked at 40 degrees
early afternoon.
That didnt faze sophomore
Josie Walter as she finished in
5th place with a time of 19:45.
The top finisher was Ellei
McCrory of Northern Heights
with a time of 18:30, which was
about 50 seconds ahead of the
second place finisher, Cady
Hemphill of Attica High School.
Finishing in 10th place was
Peyton Schmidt of Crest. She
finished with a time of 20:35.
The duo of Aubrey Allen
(22:04) and Kaylee Allen (23:51)
finished 31st and 61st respectively to do their part to bring
home the runner-up trophy.
For the Lancer boys squad,
Gunner Ellington earned a
36th place finish with a time of
18:29.8. The winner of the boys
run was Caleb Durst of Lebo
with a time of 16:29.9.
Vikings advance to 2nd round with win over Erie
ERIE – Both teams entered
the opening round contest at
4-4, but it would be the Central
Heights Vikings dominating
Erie High School in the fourth
quarter to pull away for a 48-20
win.
Central Heights would score
first on a 46 yard touchdown
pass from Brody Roulett to
Baker Moore to put the Vikings
up 6-0 with 2:33 remaining in
the first quarter.
Erie tied it up at 6 with a 26
yard touchdown pass with 6:49
remaining in the half.
The Vikings would score
with just 41 seconds remaining in the second quarter on a
5 yard run by Colton Caswell
to take a 14-6 advantage into
intermission.
Following an interception
by Armoni Velez in the third
quarter, the Vikings jumped
on top 20-6 with Moores second touchdown reception from
Roulett, this one was from 4
yards out with 7:17 left in the
third.
Dustin Smith would pick
off an Erie pass and return it
to the 3 yard line and Smith
would score on the ensuing
play to give the Vikings a 26-6
advantage.
Erie would respond in a big
way scoring on back to back
possessions which were sandwiched around a Viking turn-
over. The second score cut the
lead down to 26-20 with just 3:28
left in the third period which is
the way it would remain heading into the fourth.
The Vikings gained some
breathing room with a 6 yard
touchdown run by Jose Velez
with 8:14 left in the game.
Following a fumble recovery
by Caden Newell, Velez scored
again from 6 yards out to put
the Vikings on top comfortably
40-20 with 6:17 remaining.
Just 2 minutes later, Brycean
Velez would seal the victory
with a 9 yard touchdown run
and following the conversion
the Vikings led 48-20 with just
4:16 remaining.
Bulldogs end disappointing season on a high note
GALENA – Last Thursday, the
Bulldogs concluded their 2023
season with a 2-7 record after
knocking off Galena 56-28 in
a consolation match as both
teams failed to qualify for the
postseason.
The Bulldogs scored on runs
of 4 yards by AJ Schaffer, 2
yards by Preston Kueser and 15
yards from Trey Clark to lead
21-8 after the first.
Galena cut the deficit to
21-14 in the second but Kueser
scored again, this time from 3
yards out to put AC up 28-14 at
halftime.
The Bulldogs put the game
out of reach with 4 big touch-
2×6 Moran
Locker
down plays in the third quarter.
Kueser scored his 3rd and
4th touchdowns of the game
with runs of 31 and 40 yards.
Camryn Wilson scored from
38 yards out as part of a 270
yard performance on the night
on just 15 carries. The fourth
score was a 79 touchdown
reception by Christian Barnett
from Kueser.
With these 4 scores, the
Bulldogs seized control and led
56-14 heading into the fourth.
Galena did tack on the only 2
scores of the fourth quater on a
pair of 1 yard touchdown runs.
Kueser accounted for 5
touchdowns, 4 rushing and one
through the air, in the game
and was second on the team
with 92 yards rushing.
Zach Schaffer, AJ Schaffer,
Aidan Steele and Masten
Wright all had 5 tackles each to
lead the Bulldogs defense.

ON THE $6 MILLION
BOND QUESTION!
USD 479 voters voted down a $2 million bond issue (2004). I doubt nearly
20 yrs later they are going to approve a $6 million dollar bond issue. Crest enrollment might be up but it is because theres Out Of District students attending.
USD 479 property owners are in effect: paying taxes to a school district
thats serving out of district students. Ok the bond issue is: another gym, renovate classrooms, cafeteria/kitchen improvements, parking lot upgrades, a new
classroom that doubles as a storm shelter & ADA upgrades (howbeit there ARE
Funds out there for ADA improvements). Look at the millages for the Crest
School Dist: 2020: 36.043 2021: 35.992 2022: 37.178 & with the bond
added to the millage: jumps to 53 mills. Thats Double the millage for City of
Colony!
With All these improvements theres
NOT ONE SINGLE DOLLAR
to fix Student Issues.
Let me digress: I graduated from Glenbrook North HS – which in located
in northern Illinois. It is ranked #541st across the US. For math proficiency:
67%. For Reading proficiency: 68%. Science proficiency : 39%. Graduation
rate: 96%!
Here at Crest: math proficiency: 17%. Reading proficiency: 14% Science
proficiency: 29%. BELOW Kansas State test scores all across the board. Graduation rate: 80%.
Bond issue does NOTHING to fix these student issues. Students graduate
with out skills they need to enter college or to be hired for a meaningful and
good paying career.
Yes, Crest students need some help, but the bond issue does nothing to help
them at all.
These are some of the reasons WHY Im voting NO on the $6 Million dollar bond issue.
Please HELP School District 479 -Crest students & Vote NO on the Bond
Question.

dents declined while White
students slightly improved. In
2015, 33 percent of Black students were below grade level
and 18 percent were proficient;
now, 46 percent are below grade
level and 17 percent are proficient. There are more White
students below grade level
than in 2015, but proficiency
improved from 50 percent to 55
percent. The net result is that
the composite score for Black
students dropped from 1.70 to
1.42, while the White composite
shows a small improvement.
The achievement gap in
English Language Arts is also
worse. Results declined for
both cohorts, but Black students performance fell more
than that of White students.
Hispanic students also experienced declines in math and
English Language Arts, and
their achievement gaps with
White students in both cases
are worse.
Tragic achievement gaps for
minorities and students from
low-income families come as
no surprise. Audits prove
that school districts refuse to
spend at-risk funding as state
law requires. School administrators also routinely prevent
school board members from
conducting needs assessments
in schools to create strategic
improvement plans, again, as
required by state law. The
Department of Education could
put a stop to these bad behaviors by enforcing its long-standing requirement that all
state-accredited schools follow
all state laws. Instead, it does
nothing.
Legislators must now decide
whether to impose consequences or accept that many students
wont get the education they
need to succeed in life.
The unions, the state school
board association, and most
administrators will howl and
step up efforts to remove student-focused legislators from
office. Sadly, that matters
more to some elected officials.
But those who are genuinely
there to stand for students and
their parents must unequivocally say enough and compel
education officials to do their
jobs and follow the law.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Tuesday, October 31, 2023
State Champs – Central Heights boys cross country finishes on top
WAMEGO – For the rest of their
lives, the boys on the Central
Heights Cross Country team
will be given various titles and
described numerous ways, but
the one thing that can never
be taken away or changed is
that they will be called State
Champions after an impressive performance on Saturday
at the 2A Championships in
Wamego.
Up until the championship
run, the weather has been
unseasonably warm for the
most part, but boy did that
change on Saturday as temperatures were in the mid 30s
during the morning competitions and peaked at 40 around
noon. When the forecast came
out, there were grumblings
from a lot of people outside
the program, but deep down
head coach Troy Prosser knew
it would bring out the best in
his team.
it brought a sense of joy
to me to know that the more
brutal the conditions, the
more driven our kids would
be, Prosser said. In fact, they
were far beyond driven in the
barely above freezing conditions at the biggest meet of the
season.
Emma Cubit and Melaney
Chrisjohn have been nothing
short of astonishing this year.
They are leaders, not only
on the team but in every capacity of their lives and the joy
and pride we have for them
as a program is probably best
defined by the word grateful,
Prosser added. They are such
sweet girls with the best sense
of humor, great students, and
role models for all of the kids
around them.
Chrisjohn has run with such
a sense of urgency over the last
month that her performances
at meets put almost every girl
in 2A on notice. Her 16th place
All-State medal was earned
without question.
Prosser said, Cubit has
been so much to so many peo-
ple for the past seven years she
has been on the team that there
arent enough thank yous for
me to offer her. One of our
mantras for the girls this year
is that patience is a strength
and Emma embodies that perfectly.
Coach Prosser said she
never let any other runners
take her out of her race and her
focus and even to the very end
of this season, her intelligence
and patience on the course
was a difference maker in her
becoming the #3 runner in the
State. Cubit knew that going
out too hard on this course was
going to spell disaster for a lot
of the field and did so even
staying in the top six. By the
time she got to the back half
of the race, it was evident that
there were runners ahead of
her that were beatable. One
by one, Cubit kept her focus
and took down some of the top
runners to finish with one of
her fastest times ever as well
as the highest place in her
illustrious career at the State
Championships. What a way
to finish the last XC race of her
senior year!
The boys team is the epitomie of a team. It was a day for
the ages in so many ways, its
difficult to pick what stands out
the most.
The joy of victory made all
the work worth it as Coach
Prosser reflected as he watched
his boys holding up that
Championship trophy after
having to battle through one
of the best fields of teams hes
ever seen at the 2A level.
It brought an immense
amount of joy, satisfaction and
relief, Prosser proclaimed.
Being ranked #1 all season
by the coaches is a testament
to how hard the boys worked
and it was a recognition they
deserved. Its a lot of pressure
for high school athletes to take
on but they never settled for
the feeling and knew they had a
target on their backs the entire

year.
Despite all the success they
still wanted to get better each
and every week and they wanted to do it all together. Not just
one through seven but all 13
boys pushed, pulled, fought.
They found a new level of
confidence and power in each
other that was just slightly
missing last year according to
their Coach.
Cody Hammond emerged as
a force that continues to surprise those around him but not
his coaches or teammates.
Neither I, Coach Cannady
or the other kids on our team
are even remotely surprised,
Prosser stated.
His State Runner-up finish
was a battle but knowing what
a gifted athlete Hammond is,
his Coach had all the confidence in the world that things
were going to go his way. After
stumbling before the finish last
ners, said Prosser.
To have their leadership is
so invaluable to a team that
works as one single unit.
Christian McCord has been the
glue between the front three
and the back three all season.
Its almost absurd to think that
his time from the state meet
that earned him 26th place this
year would have been 11th last
year. Thats an indicator of how
brutal this field was to navigate. Hunter Johnson, Stetson
Miller and Brylan Sommer all
deserve a great deal of credit
because it really came down to
them holding close enough to
the positions we needed to pull
off the 13 point victory over
huge pressure from the Hutch
Trinity and Meade squads.
The question becomes, how do
you wrap up a season like this?
John Schultze started the program in 1983 and to end the 2023
40 years later with two of the
year and crawling the last 10
feet across the line to place 7th
at State, Hammond was motivated coming into this year
and broke every single school
record put out there.
In fact, had Hammond not
been the front runner this season, the school records would
have also fallen to not one,
but two of his teammates in
Connor Burkdoll and Owen
Miller. Both of them played
such critical roles that the trio
of them made each other better
at all times. Coach Prosser stated that Connor leads every day
in practice and is the tactical
specialist on the team.
He's always aware of his
surroundings and knows what
needs to be done. Owen pushes
the pace for them at meets and
is so fearless that the other two
boys know they have to keep up
or Owen will grind them down
like he does so many other run-
best girls and the #1 boys team
in the State is a fitting way to
celebrate.
To all of the kids on the
team, you mean more to me
than youll ever know, a proud
Coach Troy Prosser added.
The talents you have, the gifts
you share and the love you
have for each other makes a
difference in this world. We
all need people like you in our
lives so for you, Ill be eternally
grateful.

Congratulations Pink Flamingos! The Pink Flamingos 3rd and 4th grade fall soccer team with the Garnett Recreation Center finished this
season UNDEFEATED! Pictured in front is Beau Nienstedt. Second row, from left: Maddox Croan, Preslee McCarty, Traci Turley, Lucas
Read, Brody Kratzberg, Adelynn Richardson, Derek Huss, James Huss, Emmitt Poe and Coach Jason Read.
Godliness with contentment
is great gain (1 Tim 2:6) We will
never be satisfied by trying to
suck the most out of what this
world has to offer. Prov 30:15
says, A leech has two suckers
that cry out More! More!
C. S. Lewis said, If I find
myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy,
the most probable explanation
is that I was made for another
world.
He is speaking about heaven and living in the presence
of God. Jesus advised more
than once not to store up our
treasures here on earth where
moth and rust destroy and
thieves steal, but store up treasure in heaven where it will
last forever.
A man named Agur provides a simple prayer for us in
Proverbs 30:7-9. Lord, please
help me to never tell a lie,
(not even to myself that all I
need to be happy is just a little
more). And, give me neither
poverty nor wealth, (but only
the necessities) so that I dont
become proud and deny you or
steal and profane your name.
In Philippians 4:12-13, Paul
tells us that he has learned
how to be content in every
circumstance, whether well
fed or hungry, and that is by
depending on God for strength.
Paul also gives us a prayer in
Ephesians 1:18-19,
I pray that the eyes of your
heart may be enlightened so
that you may know what is
the hope of his calling, what
is the wealth of his glorious
inheritance in the saints, and
what is the immeasurable
greatness of his power toward
us who believe, according to
the mighty working of his
strength.“
K-State researchers seek ways to improve pig gut health, decrease mortality
By Maddy Rohr, K-State
Research and Extension news
service
MANHATTAN, Kan. As the
U.S. swine industry shifts
toward improving gut health in
newly weaned pigs to decrease
mortality rates, a Kansas State
University student is studying
ways to incorporate low acid
binding ingredients into swine
diets.
Ethan Stas, a graduate
research assistant in K-States
Department of Animal Sciences
and Industry, said acid binding
ingredients are key to a concept
known as acid-binding capacity, or ABC-4, which looks at
the pH level of a pigs stomach
before the animals gastrointestinal tract matures.
ABC-4 is the amount of
hydrochloric acid required to
reach a stable pH of 4 for an
ingredient or diet, he said.
For swine, we utilize a pH of 4
because once the pig's stomach
increases above (that level of
acidity), this is where impaired
nutrient utilization and health
problems can occur.
He adds: When that pig is
weaned and switched from a
liquid milk-based diet to a dry
cereal-based diet, the amount of
lactic acid is reduced. At weaning, the pig's gastrointestinal
tract is still developing and its
hydrochloric acid production
in the stomach is limited until
that gut fully matures. This can
cause an elevated stomach pH
which can be associated with
decreased protein digestion
and opportunity for pathogenic
organisms.
Normal mortality rate in
nursery pigs is about 4% in the
U.S. While they dont all die
from digestive tract issues, the
goal would be to improve the
gut health to reduce mortality
and the number of pigs requiring antibiotic treatment after
weaning.
Diarrhea and poor starting
pigs is a major challenge for
pork producers. This research
is focused on reducing that
challenge, Stas said.
A number of studies evaluating the impact of low ABC-4
diets will be presented at this
year's Swine Day. Stas said the
studies have shown improvements in growth performance,
nutrient use and fecal dry matter.
Post-weaning diarrhea is a
big issue in the swine industry,
and our research has shown
that utilizing low ABC-4 diets
can improve fecal consistency
and decrease the prevalence
of post-weaning diarrhea, he
said.
Stas noted that producers
are constantly looking for
methods to improve production
and the health of their pigs.
Understanding potential
ways to lower the ABC-4 levels
of early nursery diets can help
producers improve the performance and health status in
their production system, Stas
said. It is a growing topic, and
we are continuing to try and
learn as much as we can.
The 2023 K-State Swine Day
is scheduled for Nov. 16 on the
K-State campus in Manhattan.
The registration fee is $25 per
person if paid by Nov. 8, and
$50 after that date or at the
door. K-State students may
attend free of charge if they
register by Nov. 8.

Dont wait to perform garden Medicare enrollment October 15 – December 7
equipment maintenance
By Maddy Rohr, K-State
Research and Extension news
service
MANHATTAN, Kan.
Preparing the garden for winter includes equipment and
tool maintenance. Kansas State
University horticulture expert
Cynthia Domenghini provides
several tips to extend the longevity of garden tools and equipment.
Hoses should be drained
by stretching them and coiling
for storage, Domenghini said.
Water will drain as you pull
the hose toward you for coiling.
Ultraviolet light can make
hoses brittle and decay over
time, so proper storage is necessary, she said.
Irrigation lines for lawn
sprinkler systems should also
be winterized by shutting off
the main valve for the system
and opening manual drains to
prevent freezing in the lines.
Lawn irrigation systems
usually have shallow lines,
and most lines are self-draining. These systems should be
blown out with an air compressor. Lawn irrigation companies often offer this service,
Domenghini said.
To clean garden tools, it is
suggested to use a steel brush
to remove dirt and debris from
2×6 Yutzy
previous uses. Once this has
been done, clean the metal portion of the tool with oil and a
paper towel to prevent rusting
in storage.
Store these tools in an area
where they will not be exposed
to poor weather conditions.
This will help prevent splintering, Domenghini said.
Wooden handles that are
becoming rough can be sanded
lightly and coated with a light
application of wood preservative, boiled linseed oil or polyurethane. After a few minutes,
wipe off the excess coating.
Some quick maintenance
will increase the life of your
tools and save you money
from having to replace them,
Domenghini said.
Domenghini and her colleagues in K-States 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
at cdom@ksu.edu, or contact
your local K-State Research and
Extension office.
