Cops: Woman gave fiance fentanyl, murdered him
Kinney evaded warrant
on first degree murder
charge for more than a year
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT A former Shawnee
Mission woman who avoided
arrest for a year in the drug-related death of her fianc will be
arraigned in Anderson County
District Court next week on a
charge of first degree murder and
other drug charges.
questioned about the drugs he
took in April 2022 that apparently
led to his death.
A probable cause affidavit
obtained by the Review said
Garnett police were granted a
warrant for the Garnett residence
where Lewis body was found.
The search revealed various
illegal drugs and paraphernalia
including marijuana and methamphetamine as well as a baggie containing what Kinney told
investigators was heroin but later
determined by drug lab reports to
be fentanyl. The affidavit said

with the 2022

drug-related
death of James
Lewis, whom Kinney told investigators was her finance when
Kinney admitted all the drugs in
the residence including the substance she provided to Lewis
belonged to
her. DNA testing conducted

Lewis
when he was
found unconscious in a bathroom was positive
for Lewis DNA.
The report said lab analysis
showed Lewis had fentanyl and
acetyl fentanyl in his system. Dr.
Maxwell Rollins, Board Cerfified
Forensic Pathologist, named toxicity from the drugs as the cause
of Lewis death.
Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that is 50 to 100 times stronger than morphine. Doctors
use it legitimately in carefully
controlled doses for severe pain

surgery or for late-stage cancer

Take a bridge,
give a bridge
County must nominate a
historic bridge for register
to replace one set for demo
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
SCIPIO Anderson County
Commissioners are trying to decide
which vintage county road bridge to
trade to the Kansas State Historic
Preservation Office, since a bridge
near Scipio which is eligible for the
National Register of Historic Places
is decaying and has to be demolished
and replaced.
County leaders say they think
theyve found a similar historic
bridge to trade the states historic
preservationists in order to tear out
the bridge near the intersection of
2100 and Nevada Roads, but the discussion gave rise to the topic of the
condition of the Spencers Crossing
Bridge northeast of Greeley, which
was replaced with a new bridge in
2005 but left standing because of its
historical significance from the late
1800s.
Issues of historical preservation can be dicey ones for property owners and local governments;
on one side a positive because of
their historical significance and

With federal loan cancelled, Invenergy says Grain Belt Express will soldier on
BY PATRICK RICHARDSION
THE SENTINEL
DODGE CITY The cancellation of a $4.9 billion federal loan
for the so-called Grain Belt
Express does not appear to
have halted the project entirely.
The Grain Belt Express is
an approximately 800-mile
high-voltage direct current
transmission line that would
take wind power generated in
Southwest Kansas to Missouri
and Illinois, ending at the
Indiana border.
Jim Zakoura, an attorney
who specializes in power issues,
said the company behind the
Grain Belt Express Invenergy
appears to be moving forward
with the approximately $12 billion project utilizing private
financing.
What Im hearing is that
the company continues to go
forward with private financing
in lieu of federal financing, and
they would appear to have the
financial wherewithal to do that
if they feel that thats the appro-
priate place to deploy their capital, Zakoura said.
Some wind farms in Kansas
have turbines taller than the
Statue of Liberty.
He noted this is a huge project. Its a very big project,
multi-billion dollars for sure,

I feel I need to modify this
choice to make it so that it
fits both God and myself?
Over the years we have
softened sin by inventing
new descriptions such as
alternative lifestyle and
new age morality.
If we are saved by grace
through faith into good
works then we should live
that lifestyle. Some people
try to make a commitment
to this but that often ends
in failure and frustration
because that depends on
your performance. What
I believe this takes is surrender. Webster defines
surrender as to relinquish
possession of. When you
are willing to relinquish
control of your life to God
then you are truly saved by
grace through faith.
Ministry on the
Holiness of God.

In Ephesians we read,
For it is by grace you have
been saved, through faith-and this not from yourselves, it is a gift of God–not
by works, so that no one
can boast. (Ephesians 2:8)
The interesting thing is it
took no more of Gods grace
to save me than would be
required to save the most
hardened sinner. If I may
draw a conclusion, in our
legal system we punish the
guilty by the severity of the
crime. In Gods eyes sin
is sin. In Proverbs 6:16,
we read a list of things the
Lord hates, a proud look,
a lying tongue, hands that
shed innocent blood, a
heart that devises wicked
schemes, feet that are quick
to rush to evil, a false witness and a man that stirs up
dissension among brothers.
When Jesus died on the
cross he took upon himself
the sins of the world, specifically those mentioned
above.
What we must
remember is it is not the
severity of our sin that separates us from God. It is the
fact that we choose to sin.
We all live in the same
world and each of us must
make choices. The saved
or born again person will
make different choices than
the unsaved person. I do
not go to some of the places now I did before I was
saved. I am not prohibited
from anything that is just

OPINION
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Thursday, September 11, 2025
Mike Rowes work ethic vision works
In an era dominated by college-for-all
rhetoric and digital distractions, Mike
Rowes work-ethic curriculum feels like a
refreshing, if unapologetic, wake-up call.
With his MRW Work Ethic Certification,
the mikeroweWORKS Foundation offers
up the former Dirty Jobs TV show
hosts countercultural curriculum based
on the S.W.E.A.T. Pledgean acronym for
Skills & Work Ethic Arent Taboo.
Twelve statements, twelve lessons,
each grounded in Rowes personal experiences with real tradespeople who embody
what it means to work hard, adapt, and
stay steadfasteven when the job is dirty
and the hours long.
At its core, the pledge champions four
enduring principles: work ethic, personal
responsibility, delayed gratification, and
a positive attitude. Statements like there
is no such thing as a bad job, and I
bring passion with meI dont follow it,
remind students that fulfillment doesnt
solely come from what you do, but how
you approach itespecially when opportunity doesnt come wrapped in glitter.
What makes this curriculum stand out
is its practicality and aspirational rhetoric intertwined. It doesnt promise glamourit promises grit. And it offers more
than words: in Las Vegas, Western High is
piloting the program for freshmen, paired
with full-ride work-ethic scholarships
supported by the Engelstad Foundation
totaling around $4.5 millionunderscoring that this isnt just motivational fluff,
but a tangible investment in skill-based
futures.
Rowes message resonates beyond the
classroom: in interviews he laments that
work ethic, once a universally respected
virtue, has become politicizeda soft-spoken signal of ideology rather than integrity. He reminds us that concepts like hard
work, responsibility, and delayed
gratification used to be valorized by
everyone, regardless of background or
politics. That said, the curriculum is not
without its criticsor at least its skeptics. Still, the curriculums strength is not
found in making grand economic promises. Its in redefining what counts as career
preparation.
By celebrating the dignity of all jobs
and advocating a grounded approach to
ambition, the S.W.E.A.T. framework may
prove especially powerful for students
who feel unseen in a system primed to
favor white-collar pathways.
Rowes plan works because its rooted in tangible, real-world modelingnot
abstractions. It offers alternatives a
promising pathway for students in technical and vocational settingsto build not
just skills, but attitude.
Rowes S.W.E.A.T.-based curriculum
isnt just a courseits a conversation
starter. Its a call to revalue sweat equity,
resilience, and the humility of earning
your stripesnot for applause, but for
the steady, unglamorous work that keeps
society running. Whether one agrees with
every tenet or finds gaps in the narrative,
the curriculum asks us to wrestle with a
simple question: can we embrace work as
both honest discipline and personal discipline, beyond status or paycheck? ###

NATIONAL COMMENTARY
DR. BEN CARSON AUTHOR, NEUROSURGEON
Unfortunately, crime spikes arent
unique to states like Colorado that have a
lax drug policy. A comprehensive review
conducted in 2024 of states with legal
weed found that, post-legalization, substance-use disorders, chronic homelessness and arrests increased by 17%, 35%
and 13%, respectively. The same report
found legalization increases arrests for
violent crime by 18% and property crime
by 15%.
A 2024 study found that young men
who use marijuana daily and have a marijuana use disorder (addiction) are 82%
more likely to exhibit violent behavior
compared to non-users. A strong, flourishing country cannot afford to lose the
lives of its young people to addiction and
violence.
Negative consequences follow liberalized drug policies like night follows
Our lovely governor has the flags flown at
half staff for three days to honor victims
of the Minnesota school shooting. But our
own officer in Kansas City Kansas who
was in the line of duty is 12 hours at half
staff. Does that make sense? Thank you.
Im very upset because I couldnt get a
little trash can. But there might be people
out there that work and dont get their
trash cans in until after they get off the
work, whether they get out of work at
daytime or nighttime, but at least they
day. It makes sense that order and civil
society suffer the more you give license
for individuals to engage in antisocial
behavior such as abusing drugs. More
and more locations are learning the hard
way that easing drug prohibitions can
have disastrous consequences. Broadbased legalization in Oregon was so bad
that the state legislature recriminalized
drug possession just a few years later.
All of these societal concerns are without regard to the fact that organized
crime flourishes where marijuana is
made legal; years of reporting and DEA
investigation have exposed that marijuana legalization is giving Chinese cartels
an avenue to operate legally in America.
Todays marijuana is far more potent
and dangerous than what existed in previous generations. Modern THC concentrations reach up to 99% today, a far cry
from the 2-3% of decades past.
If one thing is clear from crime-controlled areas, its this: rampant drug use
is fueling the fire. This truth is reflected
across countless American cities. As a
former pediatric neurosurgeon who is
deeply concerned for Americas future
generations, I believe we must approach
marijuana policy with caution and allow
sound evidence to guide the debate.
The health, safety and stability of our
families depend on thoughtful, responsible leadership not experimenting

Honchos at the Fed need primer in Presidents authority
Uncharacteristically for him, Donald
Trump is being too modest in asserting
his power over the Federal Reserve.
Hes fired Lisa Cook for cause, citing a clearly pretextual alleged mortgage infraction, when, as a constitutional
matter, he should be able to fire her, or
Chairman Jerome Powell, for any reason
he deems appropriate.
The independence of the Federal
Reserve largely rests on its status as a
constitutional anomaly, exercising executive authority without being subject to
the same rules as the rest of the executive branch. There are good policy reasons for this — an independent central
bank promotes monetary stability — but
the Fed has been granted, in effect, an
exemption from our constitutional order
for prudential reasons.
The Fed itself isnt in on the joke.
Lisa Cook thinks she cant be fired and
is suing to keep her job, while Jerome
Powell has laughably maintained that
he cant be removed from the chairmanship.
Cook can only be given a pink slip
for cause, according to the statute.
Cause is a broad term, though. If it
is interpreted the usual way, it would
include a refusal to carry out a presidential directive or policy disagreements. As
for Powell, there isnt even any statutory
restriction on dismissing him as chairman.
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
RICH LOWRY, King Features Syndicate
The head of the Consumer Finance
Protection Bureau was also supposed
to be insulated from removal thanks to
a provision saying that it had to be for
cause. How did that turn out? In 2020,
the Supreme Court held that such a constraint was unconstitutional.
This decision was in keeping with
the Courts recent drive to vindicate the
presidents power to fire at will officials
whose agencies carry out executive functions.
Article II of the Constitution doesnt
explicitly say the president can fire executive-branch officials, but it is implied in
the presidents power to run the executive branch, as such Founding-era luminaries as James Madison, Alexander
Hamilton, George Washington and
Thomas Jefferson recognized.
I just wanted to say to the folks who think
the form of government is this great country is a democracy, it is not a democracy. It
is a republic.

Worst crime cities share pro-marijuana mania
President Donald Trumps commitment to tackling the crime epidemic
destroying American cities is a life-saving mission for millions across our
nation. But while there are many factors contributing to high crime rates,
we cannot ignore one thats dominated the national debate in recent weeks:
the prevalent use of marijuana, a trend
which is growing in our urban centers.
As the president starts cleaning up
our streets, a cabal of Soros-funded activists are pushing for a dangerous Blue
City-style policy that will worsen the crisis: rescheduling marijuana to Schedule
III. Even well-intentioned but misguided
activists are now advocating to loosen
marijuana restrictions through efforts to
reschedule the drug.
I urge caution when we consider such
sweeping changes. The intent may be
compassionate, but the consequences are
certainly harmful. As someone whos
spent decades caring for the health and
well-being of families across America, I
have seen firsthand how substance abuse
devastates lives and communities.
In addition to health impacts, there are
societal impacts as well. The research
is clear: more marijuana means more
crime. A University of Colorado study
found crime rates up to 1,452% higher in neighborhoods with at least one
marijuana dispensary. In Denver, areas
near dispensaries had 85 more property
crimes per year than those without.
get their stinky trash out so they dont have
roaches. If they have roaches, they might
run over to your house. So dont be upset
because people have trash cans away from
their house.
In a 1922 Supreme Court case, Chief
Justice Taft wrote for the majority that
as the presidents selection of administrative officers is essential to the execution of the laws by him, so must be his
power of removing those for whom he
cannot continue to be responsible.
The rise of independent agencies with
the New Deal and a Supreme Court decision called Humphreys Executor, saying
FDR couldnt fire at will the commissioner of the Federal Trade Commission, sent
the removal power into retreat.
But the decision in the CFPB case
undercut the logic of Humphreys
Executor, as have other recent decisions. In a concurrence in the CFPB
case, Clarence Thomas said it wasnt
clear what was left of the reasoning of
Humphreys. Whatever remained, he
wrote, wasnt enough to justify the
numerous, unaccountable independent
agencies that currently exercise vast
executive power outside the bounds
of our constitutional structure. That
should have gotten the Feds attention.
The Court has sidestepped the status of
the Federal Reserve in its removal-power
jurisprudence. But theres no legal reason that it should be considered an oasis
standing apart from the Courts ruling
that there is no de facto fourth branch
of government lacking accountability

Do you kneel before the sports God?
Speaking Truth by Clint
Decker
CLAY CENTER – Is Sunday
football a casual interest or
something more? Does your
love for sports go beyond a
form of entertainment, recreation or exercise to an
obsession?
Thousands of years ago
the people of Israel escaped
their Egyptian slave masters for freedom. As they
fled, Moses often spent time
with God seeking Him for
guidance in governing the
people. Once he was alone
with God for 40 days, and
as the time passed the
people began to doubt
if Moses would return,
so they looked to Aaron,
Moses brother. He became
their new leader, and they
sought his help in finding
a new god. He led them to
craft a golden calf, where
the leaders of the people
said, These are your gods,
O Israel, who brought you
up out of the land of Egypt!
(Exodus 32:4).
Israel replaced the Lord
God with a golden calf
because of their impatience.
What they once looked to
God for, they quickly cast
aside for something of their
own creation.
This illustrates the
human condition. Without
realizing it, we are constantly looking to somewhere, something or someone else besides the Lord
God, to satisfy us and give
us what only God can provide.
Sometimes
sports
can become one of those
replacements. It is a
multi-billion-dollar worldwide industry that is a deep
part of the fabric of our culture. This is evidenced by
how much time and money
it consumes for millions of
families. From a form of
entertainment to passionate participation, from
sports gambling to investing in it as a business, or
having it the centerpiece of
an entire community.
Has sports become our
golden calf?
Do you look to sports for
happiness, success, financial gain or meaning? The
answer can be different for
each person. Let me clarify,
it is not about sports itself,
but the attitude with which
you view it. Similarly, the
problem was not the golden
calf itself, but how the peo-
ple of Israel viewed it. They
looked to it as a god, to give
themselves what only the
Lord God could give. The
golden calf, like sports, is a
creation of this world. We
built the games. We built
the teams. We built the
industry. The Bible says,
Do not love the world or
the things in the world. If
anyone loves the world, the
love of the Father is not in
him. For all that is in the
worldthe desires of the
flesh and the desires of the
eyes and pride of lifeis not
from the Father but is from
the world. And the world is
passing away along with its
desires, but whoever does
the will of God abides forever. (1 John 2:15-17)

would be to pass a constitutional amendment authorizing an independent Fed
or a similar entity. Short of
that, the Federal Reserves
regulatory functions could
be handed over to another
executive agency (although
core monetary functions of
the Fed also may be executive in nature).
The Supreme Court will
surely be reluctant to grasp
the nettle on the Fed. Yet,
theres little doubt that, on
the legal merits, Lisa Cook
should be sending out her
resume.

patients.
But outside of medical settings, fentanyl has
become one of the most
dangerous drugs in the U.S.
Even tiny amounts can slow
or stop breathing, which is
the main cause of overdose
deaths. Frequently mixed
into heroin, cocaine, meth,
or counterfeit pills and
often without users knowing, lethal doses can be
ingested unintentionally.
The Centers For Disease
Control said 2022 data
showed synthetic opioids,
mainly fentanyl, were
involved in more than
70,000 deaths per year and
had been the main factor in
the U.S. overdose epidemic,
which has killed as many
as 100,000 Americans annually in recent years.
Kinney faces a single charge of first degree
murder, possession of fentanyl and possession of
drug paraphernalia. An
arraignment hearing set
September 16 was canceled
due to a clerical error and
expected to be rescheduled.

because of that price tag,
at some point, they had
requested the federal loan
guarantees,
Zakoura
said. Which are generally
available for projects that
have national importance,
national significance, and
they were awarded that
designation last, I believe
it was November, and
received a conditional
loan guarantee of $4.9 billion, and the overall project of Grainbelt Express is,
maybe $10 or $12 billion
in total.
However, on July 23, the
United States Department
of Energy issued a release
stating the federal loan
guarantees had been
rescinded, and projects that
required federal permitting
would face tighter restrictions. President Trumps
One Big, Beautiful Bill
passed in August also ended
the industrys life blood
production tax credits for
industrial wind and solar
by the end of 2027.
Groups fight trump ban
on new wind projects
The conditional commitment, which would have
provided a taxpayer-funded
loan guarantee of up to $4.9
billion dollars, was issued
by the Biden administration in November 2024 one
of many conditional commitments that were rushed
out the door in the final
days of the Biden administration, the release stated.
After a thorough review
of the projects financials,
DOE found that the conditions necessary to issue the
guarantee are unlikely to
be met, and it is not critical
BRIDGE…
for the federal government
to have a role in supporting this project. To ensure
more responsible stewardship of taxpayer resources, DOE has terminated its
conditional commitment.
However, if the Grain
Belt Express can move
forward without taxpayer
funds, it begs the question
of why federal loans were
needed in the first place.
Grain Belt Express has
multiple downsides for
Kansans
Zakoura said the Grain
Belt Express, if completed,
will be independent of the
Southwest Power Pool
the regional electric grid of
which Kansas is a member
sending power generated
in Kansas out of state.
According to Renewable
Energy World, Invenergy
says it has obtained most
of the easements it needs
to cross thousands of properties across three states
through voluntary negotiations. Still, in all three
states that it must cross
including Kansas
Invenergy has the right of
eminent domain, meaning the company can simply condemn the land it
needs and pay landowners
fair market value, for the
land, whether they wish to
sell or not.
That drew the ire of
Missouri Senator Josh
Hawley, who successfully
lobbied to have the loan
guarantees killed.
The cancellation of
the federal loan guarantee comes after Senator
Hawley secured a pledge
from Department of Energy
(DOE) Secretary Chris
Wright to halt the project,
a release from Hawleys
office reads. Senator
Hawley sent a letter to the
DOE in March urging the
department to cancel the
loan, as well as a follow-up
letter in June.
This is not the first time
eminent domain has been
used for a transmission
project that saw Kansas
power being shipped across
the border to Missouri.
In June of 2023, the
Kansas
Corporation
Commission which regulates public utilities in the
state of Kansas approved
a Siting Application for
a 94-mile electric transmission project that will
reroute power from the
Wolf Creek nuclear power
plant to Missouri and
beyond.
It was the first step
toward a transmission project largely to be paid
for by Kansas consumers
half a football field wide,
cut through five counties
and 89 miles of Kansas
countryside. If landowners
along the proposed path
declined to sell, NextEra
was able to condemn the
land and force a sale.
Zakoura said this project, while not appearing
to be a financial deficit to
Kansas rate payers because
Missouri and Illinois rate
payers will ultimately
cover the cost of the lines,
there isnt any real benefit
to Kansans.
The issue is, it seems
to me, how do you benefit the State of Kansas?
Zakoura said. Were hosting, gee whiz, were hosting probably more than
400 miles of high voltage
lines, and those lines, when
theyre built, theyll get a
10-year property tax exemption.
While companies often
pay local governments a
Payment in Lieu of Taxes
or PILOT, it rarely comes
to as much as the exempted
property taxes would have,
according to Zakoura.
In other words, not
only will Kansans not benefit from the power the
Southwest Kansas wind
farms are producing, but
neither will they see an offset in property taxes from
the Grain Belt Express for
at least a decade.

possibility for historic
preservation grant funding, but on the other hand
a liability because of extra
restrictions placed on that
property and sometimes
even nearby property if
its accepted as a registered
landmark.
Robert
Elder,
the
Review and Compliance
Coordinator with the
Kansas Historical Society,
said the demolition of the
stone and arch bridge near
Scipio isnt actually a part
of that historic register yet
but is eligible. Even so,
state preservation authority backed by federal law
plays a roll in its mitigation.
In a situation like
this, the State Historic
Preservation
Office
(SHPO), the county, and
the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (USACE) follow
a preset process to mitigate the loss of this historic bridge, Elder said. He
said in 2020 the SHPO and
the USACE agreed upon a
Programmatic Agreement
that governs this mitigation process. If a county
does not have a National
Register-listed bridge that
is comparable to the one
that is being demolished,
they will list a comparable
bridge. If the county does
not have any comparable
bridges, they can list another historic bridge of a different type.
State preservationists
cant block the demolition of an unsafe bridge,
but according to federal
law they have authority to review whether the
bridge is listed or eligible
for the National Register
of Historic Places and to
assess whether demolition
or alteration would be an
adverse effect on a historic property. Thus, the policy of finding another old
bridge to replace a historic
but failing one.
That conversation segued into the state of the
old Spencer crossing bridge
at Greeley, which is now
growing up and trees and
brush since it was abandoned but left intact as a
historic centerpiece.
The day they did that
ceremony, they had ribbons hung all over it and
banners and it was a big to
do thing, said 2nd District
County
Commissioner
Tony Mersman. That was
20 years ago, and they have
not been back since.
Elder said maintenance
and upkeep for those historic points of interest is
generally the responsibility
of the property owner.
Those costs usually
fall to the property owner
unless alternative arrangements are made through an
agreement with the federal
funding or permitting agency, Elder said. He said
this Kansas historic preservation office offers a funding program available to
register listed properties.
The Heritage Trust fund
grant provides reimbursement of 80% of project costs
up to $100,000. He said the
grant program is competitive.

Show and Tell

a Carpenter Star quilt in
browns that was machine
quilted
by
Jeanette
Gadelman.
July Stukey made a robe,
without a pattern, that was

12 log cabin patches, two
quilts of her own design
from the Overbrook Quilt
Shop Block of the Months
(one of the quilts had a
whirlwind on the back),
and a quilt called Linked
up made with a border
print.
Kay Roeckers showed a
Mariners Star quilt made of
blocks her daughter found
in Texas that Kay pieced
Defense Directors suddenly became Emergency
Preparedness Director
positions. Posts like the
one pastor, embalmer
and former implement
salesman Gary Benjamin
initiated in Anderson
County on a part-time
basis became full time jobs
and soon added staff. As
the national paranoia set
in with fears of chemical
attacks, Anthrax powder
mailings and concerns in
the Midwest about tankers
of toxic chemicals traversing the highways with virtually no protection from
attack or sabatoge, the
national shell game portion of the War On Terror
found itself growing by
leaps and bounds and cash.
Tucked away in the center of the country and far
away from major population centers on the coasts,
Kansas and the Midwest
werent any less impacted
by 9/11s aftermath. The
Sunflower States strong
military presence in Fort
Riley, Fort Leavenworth
and nearby McConnell
Air Force Base were ready
points after 9/11, with
thousands of Kansas soldiers and airmen deployed
to Afghanistan and Iraq.
Fort Rileys 1st Infantry
Division became one of
the most heavily deployed
units in the War on Terror.
The Kansas National
Guard mobilized for both
overseas service and
homeland security duties,
including airport security, infrastructure protection, and disaster response
training.
Kansas airports like
Wichitas Dwight D.
Eisenhower
National
and nearby Kansas City
International saw major
changes under the new
Transportation Security
Administration (TSA),
which was created after
9/11. Critical infrastructure in Kansas like refineries, pipelines, and food
supply systems were
added to federal homeland
security planning. With its
agriculture heritage a stalwart in the nations breadbasket, Kansas became
part of broader discussions
on food security and biosecurity.
Defense and security
spending rose in Kansas.
Fort Riley and McConnell
Air Force Base expanded
operations, which brought
federal dollars and jobs.
The aviation industry in
Wichita the Air Capital
of the World was hit hard
in the immediate aftermath
because of the collapse in
air travel. Companies like
Boeing, Cessna, and Spirit
AeroSystems faced layoffs
in the early 2000s, though
some rebounded as military contracts increased.
Kansas State University
became a center for homeland
security-related
research. The National Bio
and Agro-Defense Facility
(NBAF) which opened in
2023 in Manhattan, grew
out of post-9/11 concerns
about bioterrorism and
threats to the food supply.
Post 9/11 spending
quickly dissolved itself
of political discussions
around the countrys federal debt, which at the end
of 2001 was a paltry $5.8
trillion. Funding wars in
Minutes recorded by Terrie
Gifford.

Weiens machine quilted it.
Mary Cubit showed Quilted
Post Cards that she taught
her grandchildren to make.
Sharon Rich was asked by
a man she met in Chanute
to turn 30 T-shirts into a
quilt for her daughter. She
showed the first one she
completed.
Terrie Gifford showed
the Challenge Blocks from
the Anderson County Fair.
Donna Sutton made three
quilts from a 2003 series
of quilt blocks that were
Christmas themed and she
hand appliqued 50 small
heart blocks to put them all
together.
Joyce Buckley showed
another beautiful purse.
And sitting right next to
her was Janet Truelove
who showed a purse that
Joyce made for her.
Jeanette
Gadelman
showed a bag made from a
pattern where the sewing
lines were printed on insulbright batting.
Lori Hoyt showed a
small project bag, a quilt
with pinwheel centers
called Antique Lace and

two countries and preparing the homeland for
attack was expensive business.
Money came to counties
in Kansas and throughout the country through
programs like Homeland
Security Grant Program
(HSGP) including the
SHSP (State Homeland
Security Program) and
UASI
(Urban
Areas
Security
Initiative).
These are the core post9/11 preparedness grants
to states/urban regions
used for planning, equipment, training, exercises,
fusion center operations,
interoperable communications, and some county-level projects. FEMA/HSGP
guidance and historical
funding make up a large
share of that cash, which
has continued to flow
since.
Theres the Emergency
Management Performance
Grant (EMPG) a recurring program designed to
fund local emergency management staffing, planning, and day-to-day emergency operations. Recent
annual scales: e.g., FY2022
EMPG available funding is
some $405.1 million. EMPG
grants get flowed to states
and sub-granted to counties and local emergency
management agencies,
according to FEMA.
`Theres federal money
to clean up the mess
after a disaster. FEMA
Public Assistance (PA)
/ Disaster Relief Fund
(DRF) post-disaster
funding for debris removal, infrastructure repair,
public buildings, utilities, and mitigation work.
This is the single largest
federal flow to local governments after a disaster
(counties apply as sub-recipients). BRIC (Building
Resilient Infrastructure &
Communities) and FMA
FEMA mitigation grants
(BRIC launched recently)
that fund local mitigation
projects (flood control, safe
rooms, resilient infrastructure). BRIC has awarded
multiple billions since its
start some reports roughly $4.5$5B awarded since
compounded by Covid
in 2020). These projects
often go to counties or are
administered at county
level.
Federal money is distributed in many programmatic buckets (preparedness grants, disaster
response, health preparedness, cyber grants, housing
recovery, etc.). Some flows
(EMPG, HSGP) are clearly
for preparedness; others
(PA/DRF) are disaster-specific and often much larger but episodic. Money is
often routed through states
or regional entities before
subawards to counties
a function that obscures
simple, centralized tallies
and makes the total bill on
the aftermath of 9/11 hard
to sum up. Money flows to
health and medical readiness through U.S. Health
and Human Services;
cybersecurity and election
security grants; programs
funded for the Department
of Justice, Centers For
Disease Control, HUD.
The list goes on. With
a continual spray of cash
from the federal government in the wake of 9/11,
almost every government
agency gets a turn at
trough.
By the time it hits the
country level, that money
begins to get more tangible.
It funds people: emergency
managers, planners, logistics staff, trainings, overtime for response. It pays
for radios/interoperable
communications, mobile
command posts, personal
protective equipment, rescue tools, decontamination
gear. It funds training,
multi-jurisdiction planning, regional exercises,
hazard mitigation plans,
healthcare readiness.
Anderson
Countys
$80,000 drone didnt take
much of a bite out of the
Congressional
Budget
Office and Congressional
Research Service estimate
of $1.2-$1.3 trillion spent on
Homeland Security since
the attack much less the
estimates of $2.2 trill spent
on the wars in Iraq and
Afghanistan. Even those
costs seem miniscule compared to the nations current $37 trilliion national
debt.
On the upside those borrowed dollars have bought
a fair amount of safety for
Americans; international
threats seem to have taken
a backseat to crime and
suicide attacks on smaller crowds of innocents.
Hundreds of plots have
been foiled, saving untold
numbers of lives and stopping tragic attacks that
never made it to fruition.
And yes, Anderson
Countys superdrone is
back in service.

season in style Friday night
in Colony, rolling past
the Yates Center Wildcats
48-28.
Crest wasted no time
setting the tone, jumping
out to a 20-0 lead in the
first quarter. The Lancers
offense clicked early, with
junior quarterback Lane
Yocham and sophomore
receiver-quarterback
combo man Kole Walter
sparking the passing game
while senior running back
Jensin Barker powered the
ground attack. By halftime,
Crest led 32-14, and though
Yates Center battled back
in the second half, the
Wildcats never closed the
gap enough to threaten the
outcome.
The Lancers offensive
numbers told the story
of a well-rounded effort.
Yocham completed 17 of 31
passes for 176 yards and
three touchdowns, while
Walter added another scoring strike, finishing 1 of
4 for seven yards. Walter
led the team in receiving,
catching six passes for 88
yards and three touchdowns. Sophomore Max

Barker and Will Disbrow
chipped in with two catches apiece.
On the ground, Barker
carried the load, rushing 25
times for 164 yards and two
touchdowns, highlighted
by a 48-yard burst. Walter
contributed 44 yards and a
rushing touchdown of his
own, giving him four total
scores on the night. Crests
rushing attack finished
with 238 yards, pushing the
teams total offense to 421
yards.
Defensively, Crest was
led by linebacker Max
Disbrow, who tallied a
team-high 12 tackles, while
Barker added nine with
a sack. Walter, Yocham,
and freshman Andrew
Donovan each came up
with key defensive plays,
including interceptions
and a fumble recovery.
The Lancers also notched
two sacks, with Barker
and sophomore Daylan
Nicholas each bringing
down the quarterback.

WELLSVILLE
The
Anderson County Bulldogs
opened their 2025 football season on the road at
Wellsville and fell 34-7 on
Friday night, September 5.
Wellsville struck first in
the opening quarter when
senior running back Payton
Otwell broke loose for a
59-yard touchdown run.
The extra point attempt was
no good, but the Eagles had
a 6-0 lead. Anderson County
answered in the second
quarter with quarterback
Landon Schillig connecting on a 5-yard touchdown
pass to Christian Barnett,
and with Aleck Smiths
kick, the Bulldogs briefly took a 7-6 lead. That
advantage didnt last long,
as Wellsville quarterback
Pete Dorsey connected on a
35-yard touchdown pass to
Jake Doles. The two-point
conversion attempt failed,
but the Eagles went into
halftime back on top, 12-7.
From that point forward, the game belonged
to Wellsville. In the third
quarter, they connected on
a 43-yard scoring strike,
and this time the Eagles
converted the two-point try
to push the lead to 20-7.
In the fourth quarter,
they capped one drive
with a 10-yard touchdown
run, followed by a successful extra point, and then
added a 1-yard touchdown
plunge later in the quarter.
Another kick made it 34-7,
sealing the victory.
For Anderson County,
Schillig managed 40 yards
passing with a touchdown
to Barnett, but the Bulldogs

never found room to break
free. Defensively, linebacker Zach Schaffer led the
Bulldogs with 11 tackles
and a sack.

Vikings boys and girls both 1st to open season
BURLINGTON – What a
rush! head coach Troy
Prosser simply stated following the opening meet of
the season for the Central
Heights Vikings cross country teams in Burlington last
week.
The middle school athletes kicked off the day
with an impressive display.
Sixth grader Wyatt Moon
captured the 7th grade boys
title in the mile with a personal-best 6:14.95, while
his sister Kamden Moon
stormed to victory in the
8th grade girls two-mile at
14:20.51. In all, five of the
seven Viking middle schoolers ran personal records,
and five came home with
medals. That early energy
carried over to the high
school squads, and the varsity girls proved they are
reloaded and ready despite
losing two of last years
top seven. Lily Burkdoll
(2nd, 22:35.50) and Ebony
Hughes (3rd, 22:39.39) led
the charge, while freshmen Mackenzie Moon (5th,
23:13.83 PR) and Katelyn
Burkdoll (6th, 23:13.88 PR)
nearly cracked the 23-min-
ute mark in their high
school debuts. Arabella
Dunbar (14th, 25:08.40) and
Caitlynn Detwiler (20th,
26:29.43) also turned in
strong early-season times,
helping the Vikings secure
a team victory with 20
points.
The varsity boys entered
Burlington with questions
after graduating five of the
top seven from last year,
but they left with answers.
Stetson
Miller
(3rd,
17:27.44) and Josiah Meyer
(4th, 17:28.68) formed an
impressive front-running
duo, while newcomers Ben
Wuertz (6th, 18:33.06 PR)
and Knox Cannady (9th,
19:12.82 PR) delivered top-10
finishes. Cash Miller (11th,
19:15.66), Aidan Howland
(12th, 19:25.67), and Aydan
Dunbar (19th, 20:37.50)
rounded out the pack to
give the Vikings the team
title with just 15 points.
If anyone stole the show,
it may have been the JV
boys. Caleb Detwiler (1st,
12:48.81 PR), Mathew
Dunbar (2nd, 13:13.70 PR),
and Brooks Hamilton (3rd,
13:15.39 PR) swept the podi-
um to lead the squad to a
commanding team win with
only 19 points. Depth came
from Timothy CarmackRoberts (11th, 15:04.62 PR),
Gabriel Carmack-Roberts
(14th, 15:15.64 PR), and
Tristen McRoberts (16th,
15:30.05 PR), all turning in
career bests.
The middle school
results were equally strong.
Alongside Kamdens victory, Elizabeth Meyer (10th,
16:41.34) and Rilya Lickteig
(17th, 19:06.36) impressed
in the 8th grade girls race.
Behind Wyatts win in
the 7th grade boys race,
Rodney Macy (8th, 6:47.92
PR) and Jax McRoberts
(28th, 10:38.87 PR) gained
valuable experience. In the
7th grade girls division,
Emery Hughes (8th, 7:04.11
PR) added another medal to
the Vikings collection.
The first meet of the
season is always a mass
of moving parts and sometimes hysteria but the
adrenaline was pumping
and our kids competitive
nature was on full display,
Prosser stated.

I will vote for the 1% sales tax increase proposal if it is
not open-ended. In other words, I want to see a finite date
out there when that tax will end. Otherwise, it will go on
forever. They need to get firm estimates on what theyre
intending to spend, and then set that date for an end of the
sales tax. Otherwise it never goes away. Thank you.
